We’ll start by introducing ourselves and building a supportive, accountable community. Work on anything you like—products, ideas, design, code, or even fun monetization projects, collabs, or something you’re passionate about. During breaks, we’ll share genuine feedback and grow together beyond generic career paths. Think of it as a weekend café collab—a mini hackathon with that fun “we-miss-college” vibe, but as adults. A rough plan: • Work at your own pace and stay for as long as you like. • Take short breaks every 45 minutes to connect, share what you’re working on, and unwind together. • Stay connected to your why and learn to offer our efforts to the Divine/Universe/Faith without attachment to immediate results. • Build a supportive, accountable community—helping each other stay on track (Collabs may happen!)

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
