Ready to build your very first application with AI-assisted development? Join us for **“Build Your First Application with Kiro”**, a hands-on workshop designed to introduce students and aspiring developers to modern software development using Kiro. During this practical session, participants will learn how to use Kiro to generate, structure, and improve a real application while discovering how AI-powered tools are transforming the way developers build software. From setting up a project to generating components and implementing features, attendees will experience a complete beginner-friendly development workflow guided step by step. This workshop focuses on learning by doing: participants will actively build a functional application, explore the generated code, test their work locally, and gain a better understanding of how AI can accelerate productivity while still requiring solid developer understanding and creativity. By the end of the workshop, participants will: * Build and run their first application with Kiro * Understand the fundamentals of AI-assisted development * Learn how to work effectively with generated code * Gain practical experience with modern development workflows Whether you are completely new to application development or simply curious about the future of AI-powered software engineering, this workshop is a great opportunity to start building with confidence. ***Bring your laptop and come build with us!***
