Why Vibe Coding?
Vibe Coding is a revolutionary approach to prototype development that requires zero technical expertise. It combines the best no-code tools with proven product development methodologies. The term was coined by Andrej Karpathy in 2025 to describe the development of software without looking at (or knowing how to) code.
You no longer need years of programming experience to launch a working product. Modern AI tools help generate, refactor, and debug code so you can focus on the idea and user experience. With platforms like Cursor, v0, Windsurf, and Lovable, you can move from idea to a deployed web app in hours instead of weeks.
Whether you want to build a startup prototype, a portfolio project, or simply understand how AI-driven development works, this workshop provides practical, hands-on experience.
Come with zero coding experience. Leave with a live web app and the mindset of a founder.
