The **Women Coding Community (WCC)** is celebrating International Women's Week with a high-energy, hands-on Vibe Coding in London. This isn't just a presentation. It's a community coding event where we build the future of our platform together. This is vibe-coding hours in London where we build real things together using AI tools and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). No passive watching. Just coding, experimenting, and learning from each other. **What we'll get into:** MCP in action, connecting AI agents to real tools and data sources. \- Exploring Claude\, JetBrains AI and GitHub Copilot/Codex in a Java workflow\, \- Prompt skills that actually work\, how to get AI to write better code\, \- Pair programming with AI as your co\-pilot\. **Vibe coding**: implement things together, in real time, in person **Who this is for:** Developers curious how MCP actually works in practice. Java learners who want to use AI tools to level up faster. Anyone who learns better by doing than watching. Never attended our events before? No problem, this event stands completely on its own. Just bring your laptop and curiosity. **Choose your approach:** **The Architect:** Come with a specific Java project idea and your initial implementation. Use this time to pair program with mentors to solve bugs or add features. **The Catalyst:** Just bring an idea! Connect with other attendees, form a team on the spot, and spend the evening coding a prototype together. **Project Inspiration** All ideas are centred around enhancing the WCC ecosystem. Pick a level that challenges you: **Basic: Core Java** * You can also pick a good first issue from [our open-source project](https://github.com/Women-Coding-Community/wcc-backend/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Ajava%2Fspringboot%20label%3A%22good%20first%20issue%22) * WCC Member Directory: Build a command-line tool to manage member profiles using Java Collections and File I/O * Event Attendance Tracker: Create a system to track check-ins for our meetups using the Java Date/Time API * Coding Challenge Generator: Develop a tool that randomly selects Java exercises for members to practise **Intermediate: Spring Boot & APIs** * You can also pick an open issue related to spring-boot [our open-source project](https://github.com/Women-Coding-Community/wcc-backend/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Ajava%2Fspringboot) * WCC Job Board: Create a REST API for members to post and filter tech opportunities * Community Blog Platform: Build a backend that supports Markdown posts and author profiles * Skill-Tracking Dashboard: Develop a platform for members to track their learning journey and visualise progress Mentors will be on hand throughout the evening to guide you, answer questions, and help you get unstuck. **Schedule: Thursday 13 March, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM (London Time)** **6:00 PM** \- AI Tools Showcase: Claude vs ChatGPT vs JetBrains AI **6:30 PM** \- Vibe Coding: Pair programming and feature building with mentors **8:40 PM** \- Closing and Networking **To join register here: [Registration Form](https://forms.gle/vNDNg8QLNnAKodh57)** **Host:** **🎙️ Speaker Adriana Zencke Zimmermann \| Senior Software Engineer \| [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dricazenck/) \| [GitHub](https://github.com/dricazenck)** Founder & Director of Women Coding Community and Senior Software Engineer at Centric Software, with 15+ years specialising in backend systems, engineering leadership, and inclusion in tech. **🎙️ Speaker Sonali Goel \| Senior Software Engineer\, Tesco Tech \| [Website](https://sonaligoel.carrd.co/) \| [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonali-goel-tech/)** Women in Tech Award 2025 Winner, with 15+ years in large-scale e-commerce, cloud-native Java, and Agentic AI.
