Vibe Coding in London: Java, AI Agents & MCP Hands-On
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.

Friday night social: Let's go to scene 75!
We’re heading back to Scene75 on Friday, March 27 for a high-energy night of laser tag, mini golf, go-karts, arcade games, and whatever chaos we decide to get into.
We’ve done this one before and it was a blast — great turnout, tons of laughs, and just the right mix of competition and hanging out. If you missed it last time, this is your shot.
🎯 What to Expect:
Laser tag battles
Mini golf challenges
Go-karts (for those who need speed)
Arcade games & game cards
You can load however much you’d like onto a game card. Most people will probably be good with $15–$30, but it’s totally up to you.
This is a super casual event — show up, jump into whatever looks fun, rotate groups, and hang out. No pressure, no complicated structure. Just a solid Friday night with good people.
Also… I haven’t hosted in a bit and I’m making a push to be more active again. If you’ve got ideas for future events you’d love to do, bring them. I’m all ears.
Let’s run it back. 🔥
Brunch Club: Make New Friends

Each meetup brings together 4–6 people for casual conversations over brunch. We use the Groupvibe platform to facilitate the meetup and ensure everyone’s a good fit.
