Cloudy with a Chance of Code: Emergency AI Consulting

When the forecast calls for panic but you've got Claude in your corner

Join us for a fun evening of learning more about how AI tools can be used to tackle real-world development challenges. Working in small teams, you’ll be guided through a fictional client emergency to help them out with an urgent request on their weather dashboard application. A senior stakeholder has identified critical missing features that must be delivered before their company's summer party, and the timeline is tight. Your challenge is to quickly assess the existing application using AI tools, identify what needs to be built, and create an actionable plan to get it done. It's the kind of high-pressure situation that happens all the time in real consulting work, where being able to think fast and use the right tools can make or break a project.

This hands-on event gives you a chance to dive into AI-powered development and see how these tools can help when you're working against the clock. You'll get practical experience with application assessment, feature planning, and solution development while dealing with realistic time constraints. And since there are prizes on the line, it adds a competitive element that keeps things interesting. It's a great opportunity to build your AI consulting skills in a low-risk environment while tackling the kind of challenge you might face in the real world.

All you need to bring is your laptop, and we’ll provide the rest!
