Coding Dojos

Vibe Coding Collective is a global community helping anyone turn ideas into working software with AI. We host relaxed social coding jams in bars, cafés, and maker spaces. Whether you're a developer or have never written a line of code, you'll fit right in! ​On June 23, we're teaming up with [Momen](https://momen.app/?utm_source=luma) for a special edition about building full-stack with vibes. It is the visual backend, that seamlessly turns front-end "vibes" from tools like Cursor or Lovable into scalable databases, AI workflows, and secure, production-ready architectures. ## ​Format 🛠️ ​We team up in small groups of 3-4. ​You'll start by designing and laying out your app by hand, dragging and dropping the screens, deciding how it should look and feel. Then you go from there to vibe-coded backends, including databases, workflows, AI agents, and logins. By the end you've gone from a blank canvas to a real, working app with a brain behind it. ​The goal is to vibe, and learn from each other. ## ​New to vibe coding? ✨ ​No worries. We provide simple starter ideas and example prompts so even total beginners can dive straight in without stress. ## ​Schedule 🕒 ​19:00 — Welcome 19:05 — Intro from the Momen team 19:15 — Live workshop: Building a challenge app with Momen 19:45 — Challenge briefing & team formation 20:00 — Build time 21:00 — Optional demos (show what you made!) 21:30 — Hang out, network, make friends ## ​Who is it for? ​Anyone! Curious coders, tinkerers, designers, founders, AI-curious folks, and developers. If you've ever wanted to take an idea all the way to a real, full-stack app without writing code, you belong here. ## ​What to bring ​- Laptop 💻 \- Vibes ⚡ ## ​Location 📍 ​Brewhouse and Kitchen Highbury 2A Corsica St, N5 1JJ, London ## ​About Vibe Coding Collective ​We're an international community of 3,500+ members across 9 countries, running relaxed social coding jams where everyone leaves with something they built. ​🌟 No pressure, no gatekeeping.

# Beyond the Classroom: Education in an Intelligent Age Join us for the next session of Deeptech Futures, a monthly series from UCL Engineering, supported by AlbionVC and Cooley LLP, and hosted at IDEALondon. ​This time, we’re exploring **Beyond the Classroom: Education in an Intelligent Age**. As emerging technologies such as AI and VR move further into classrooms, universities, training environments, and online learning platforms, the question is no longer just what these tools can do, but how they should be designed, adopted, and evaluated. ​From AI-supported teaching to immersive learning environments, education is becoming a major testbed for how new technologies shape human development. What does it take for these tools to improve learning outcomes, widen access, and support teachers, rather than simply adding another layer of complexity? ​**What you'll get out of it** * ​Hear from researchers and founders working at the intersection of education, emerging technology, and real-world implementation * ​Understand how AI and VR are being applied across learning environments, from universities to digital platforms * ​Explore what makes new education technologies genuinely useful, usable, and evidence-based * ​Gain insight into the design, access, and adoption challenges shaping the next era of education ​**Speakers** * ​**John Mitchell** – Head of Department and Professor of Communication Systems Engineering, Co-Director, Centre for Engineering Education, UCL Engineering * ​**Benoit Wirz** – Founding Partner, Brighteye VC * ​**Stephen Hilton** – Professor of Chemistry and Enabling Technologies, UCL School of Pharmacy * ​**Rajeshwari Iyer** – Founder, sAInaptic * ​Moderator: Dr Rob Thompson, Vice-Dean (Enterprise), UCL Engineering ​**About the series** ​Deeptech Futures: Conversations at the edge of what's possible, supported by AlbionVC and Cooley LLP, opens the door between research excellence at UCL Engineering and London’s innovation ecosystem at IDEALondon. Each month we explore new themes, from robotics and XR to climate tech and health, designed to spark debate, share insights, and connect people who might just build the next big thing together. ​**About UCL Engineering** ​With ten departments spanning activity from cybersecurity to biofuels, synthetic tissues to international trade, UCL Engineering is one of the most diverse Engineering faculties in Europe. As part of UCL, London’s Global University, it crosses boundaries to work with other disciplines, universities, and cultures. ​**About IDEALondon** ​IDEALondon is UCL Engineering’s home for ambitious founders in the heart of Shoreditch, run by WilbeLAB. We bring together startups in AI, biotech, fintech, climate, and more, giving founders workspace, community, and direct access to London’s deep-tech and investor network. ​**Privacy Notice** ​We occasionally take photos/videos at the event for marketing and socials.

Is it a fundamental feature of reality or merely an emergent property from something deeper? Does time flow, and is the present moment special when Einstein tells us that all times coexist? Where does the arrow of time come from, if all the fundamental laws of physics are symmetric in time? In this lecture, Jim Al-Khalili examines many of these issues and gives our best guess answers as we understand the universe today. This is the Annual Sir Thomas Gresham Lecture. **LIVESTREAM TIMING** **The livestream will go live at 6.55pm, and the introduction will begin at 7.00pm.

Hey everyone, We’re back with a new edition of the AI Security Engineers Meetup in London on June 23rd with 2 great talks! **Talk #1 - Architecting Safe Autonomy: High-Stakes Autonomous Agents Need Deterministic Checkpoints for safety** In the rush to build autonomous agents, we face a fundamental tension: the more freedom we give an LLM to solve complex problems, the more likely it is to drift into “stochastic hallucinations” or policy violations. Most safety efforts focus on restricting the model via prompts, which often stifles the very reasoning capabilities required for sophisticated tasks. This talk introduces InsideOut, a design pattern that prioritizes agent autonomy by implementing deterministic checkpoints. Rather than micro-managing the agent’s “thoughts,” the InsideOut architecture allows the agent to navigate freely through a task—provided it periodically “grounds” its progress in structured, verifiable artifacts such as JSON or Markdown. We will walk through a real-world application of this method: an agent designed for setting up and managing cloud infrastructure. The agent is given the autonomy to discuss and decide on Features, Stack Components, Configurations, Cost Estimates, Terraforms, Deployment, and Management. To ensure reliability, each stage requires the generation of a JSON artifact validated against deterministic rules. If a boundary is breached, the agent is triggered to repeat that specific stage until the output is within bounds, preventing error propagation. By drawing a parallel to the concept of a Brownian Bridge versus Brownian Motion, we illustrate how these checkpoints act as “pins” that anchor a random walk. This approach demonstrates how forced artifact crystallization allows an agent to design and deploy complex stacks with high independence and zero “drift.” This session provides a framework for building agents that are more productive because they are safely unconstrained. Speaker: Hossein Kakavand. Hossein did his Ph.D. at Stanford University. He has been with several start up in AI, ML and Distributed Systems, with IPOs on NASDAQ and LSE. He is currently a Co-Founder of Luther Systems focused on solving the Enterprise Operations problem at scale. **Talk #2: Agentic Development Security: Securing the AI Workforce** AI agents are rapidly becoming part of the software development lifecycle, writing code, interacting with tools, and making decisions with increasing autonomy. But as organizations embrace agentic development, a new set of security challenges emerges: How do you trust the tools agents use? How do you prevent dangerous actions? And how do you ensure the code they generate is secure? In this session, we'll unveil and demo Snyk Agentic Development Security, a new approach to securing both AI builders and the AI-powered tools they rely on. You'll see how organizations can secure the agent supply chain by vetting MCP servers, plugins, and external tools before agents interact with them; govern agent behavior through real-time policies that prevent destructive actions with Agent Guard; and ensure trusted output by automatically detecting and fixing vulnerabilities in AI-generated code at the moment of creation. Join us for a live demonstration of how security can keep pace with the rise of autonomous development, enabling teams to innovate confidently while maintaining control, trust, and resilience across their AI workforce. Speaker; Denis Kent - AI Security Engineer at Snyk. Denis is an AI Security Software Engineer at Snyk, building Evo, Snyk's agentic security platform. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- As always, expect great talks, free pizza and drinks, and even better company. 📍 **Where**: Snyk Offices, 24 Eversholt Street, London (Euston tube station is right across the street) 📅 **When**: June 23rd ## Agenda **6:00 PM** – Doors open **6:00 PM – 6:30 PM** – Food & drinks **6:30 PM** – Talks begin **7:30 PM** – Talks end & social time **8:30 PM** – Doors close Looking forward to seeing you there!

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
