Vibe Coding: From Idea to Production in Less Than an Hour

What if the gap between "I have an idea" and "it's live on the internet" was one hour instead of one quarter?

This month we're not just talking about AI, we're building with it. Bring your laptop and an idea, and we'll spend the evening using AI coding tools to take a concept from blank screen to working, shareable app. Then we'll go around the room and show off what we made.

What to expect:

• A short opening talk on how one of our organizers used "vibe coding" to build and ship a live SaaS product, mostly by describing what he wanted to AI
• A quick, no-experience-required setup walkthrough so everyone starts on the same page
• 60 minutes of hands-on building: you, your laptop, and an AI partner
• Lightning demos where attendees share what they created

Who this is for:
Everyone. Whether you write code for a living or have never opened a terminal, AI coding tools have changed who gets to build. Beginners often ship something surprising in their first hour. Come find out!

What to bring (please set this up before you arrive):

• A laptop
• A free Claude (claude.ai) or ChatGPT (chatgpt.com) account
• A free GitHub account
• One AI builder tool account (we recommend Lovable, Bolt.new, or Replit)
• An idea, however small. A tool, a calculator, a landing page, a game. Anything you'd actually use

Don't worry if you're not sure what to install. We'll have a setup guide and folks on hand to help you get going in the first few minutes.
