Code & Create: Your First Vibecoding Session (GA Skills Fest)

Curious about how AI is reshaping how we build software? In this two-hour, hands-on session, you’ll dive into vibe coding—a fast, creative way to build applications using AI-assisted tools, smart prompts, and modern web stacks. You’ll learn how to use Google Antigravity to vibecode a full-stack booking app using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js). Along the way, you’ll see how AI can help you scaffold features, debug faster, and experiment confidently—without getting stuck in the weeds. The session wraps up with a mini hackathon, where you’ll apply what you’ve learned to extend or customize your app in a fun, low-pressure environment. Top submissions will win GA swag prizes. Perfect for beginners, career switchers, and nontraditional coders who want to experience modern, AI-powered development workflows.
