Join us for a day of augmented development and prompt engineering. Whether you are looking to accelerate a side project, learn the nuances of LLMs, or just see how fast you can break an agent, this is your space. This is a 6-hour collaborative working session designed to get you out of "tutorial hell" and into building mode with the help of AI.

The Plan: This isn't a classroom. It's a lab. Bring your laptop and your current obsession.
We are focusing on:

• AI-Assisted Build: exploring how tools like Claude Code, Google Antigravity, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and others can handle the heavy lifting.
• Orchestration: Make a fleet of tools to do your bidding.
• Local LLMs: Try to turn your laptop into a space heater!
• Classic Coding: Not into AI? No worries. We always need "Human-in-the-Loop" experts to review code and keep the machines honest.

Note regarding network access: You are free to use almost any tool you like, though please be aware that DeepSeek AI is currently blocked on the venue Wi-Fi.
The Logistics:

• Date: Saturday, October 3
• Time: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM (Drop in or stay the whole time)
• Food: We break at noon for pizza, or you can bring your own lunch. Food provided courtesy of IEEE.
• Show & Tell: Stick around at 3:30 PM for an optional demo. Show off your working app, or share the most hilarious hallucination your AI produced during the day.
