Vibe Coding Lunchtime Lab

​Learn the workflow, not the tool.

​Vibe Coding Lab is a practical, 90-minute session on how to turn an idea into working software with AI.

​We’ll use tools like Codex and Claude Code, but this isn’t a product tutorial. The goal is to learn a repeatable way to think through an idea, plan it, build it, test it, and keep improving it.

​You don’t need to be a traditional developer.

​What you’ll learn

• ​How to turn a rough idea into a buildable project

• ​How to work with AI coding agents without getting lost

• ​The basic loop: plan → prompt → build → test → fix

• ​How to keep your project organized as it grows

• ​How AI apps can use memory to remember users, projects, and context

• ​What to do when the AI gets confused or the build starts drifting

​What can you build?

​The same workflow can be used to create things like:

• ​a personal budgeting app

• ​a news curator that filters and summarizes what matters

• ​a custom music studio or creative art generation tool

• ​an AI assistant that remembers your projects

• ​a research dashboard

• ​a client portal

• ​your own small AI-powered app

​How the lab works

​We’ll spend the session on one clear workflow, not trying to cover every possible tool.

​You’ll see Elliott work through a real project from idea to prototype, including the prompts, decisions, mistakes, debugging, and structure behind the build.

​By the end, you should understand the process well enough to start building your own project.
