Workshop Agenda
Two days of intensive, hands-on training that transforms how you work with AI.
Check-In, v0 Setup & Tool Verification
ActivityArrive and get settled. Instructors help each participant install and verify their tools, activate the prepaid 30-day v0 membership, and confirm everyone is ready before the first build session. Printed setup guide provided so nobody falls behind during the first real session.
What Is Vibe Coding - and Why Now?
Plain-language explanation of how AI-powered development works. Live demo: instructor builds a small working app in real time while narrating each decision.
Morning Break
BreakRefreshments provided. Instructors available for one-on-one setup questions.
Choosing the Right AI Coding Tool
Side-by-side comparison of Cursor, v0, Replit Agent, and similar platforms focused on fit for your project. Participants pick one tool to use for the day.
Hands-On: Describe Your App and Build It
Pick a real idea and start building using only natural language. Goal is a working prototype by lunch, not a polished product.
Lunch
LunchBreak for lunch. Show your prototype to a neighbor. Instructors are available for stuck points.
Talking to AI About What Is Broken
Learn the most important vibe coding skill: describe problems clearly so AI can fix them. Practice a simple pattern on your app's real issues.
Hands-On: Add a Feature to Your App
Expand your prototype with one meaningful addition - a form, a data list, a login screen, or another relevant feature.
Afternoon Break
BreakRefreshments and snacks. Share progress with fellow participants.
Putting Your App on the Internet
Deploy your application so it has a real URL you can share. Guided walkthrough of free hosting options. Everyone ends Day 1 with something live.
Day 1 Showcase & Preview
ActivityEach participant shares their live app URL in one sentence. Celebrate progress, offer an optional overnight challenge, and preview Day 2 creative topics.
Morning Refreshments & Overnight Showcase
ActivityShare what you built or improved overnight. Wins and failures are both welcome, and instructors capture patterns on the whiteboard.
How AI Sees Your Words: Image Generation Fundamentals
Plain-language explanation of how tools like Midjourney, DALL-E, and Firefly interpret prompts. Live comparison of one prompt across multiple tools.
Hands-On: Generate Your Visual Assets
Create logos, product images, illustrations, and marketing visuals for a real use case. Focus on consistency in style, lighting, and tone.
Morning Break
BreakRefreshments provided. Share your favorite image from the morning session.
Bringing Images to Life: AI Video Generation
Introduction to Runway, Pika, and similar tools. Demo first, then participants animate one of their own visuals in a low-stakes experiment.
Lunch
LunchFinal lunch together. Share your animated clips and vote on a group favorite.
AI-Generated 3D: What Is Possible Today
Honest overview of tools like Meshy and Tripo: what works well today, where limitations still exist, and how to use them effectively.
Hands-On: Web App Polish Sprint
Return to your web application and improve UX, fix rough edges, tighten prompts, and add one deployment improvement. End with a clear demo script and backup plan.
Afternoon Break
BreakLast break. Final networking and sharing of creative projects.
