OPEN, BUILD, SHIP
About the Event
OPEN, BUILD, SHIP is a free virtual tech event designed for students and beginner developers who are ready to take their first real steps in tech. Whether you've been writing code for 3 months or 3 years, this event meets you where you are and points you in the right direction.
We're diving into one of the most talked-about shifts in the developer world right now: how AI is changing the way developers write, review, and ship code. In one focused, beginner-friendly session followed by a live Q&A, we'll explore the "vibe coding" era and show you how to use AI tools intentionally as a developer.
No experience required. Just curiosity and a willingness to build
What We’re Covering
AI: The Vibe Coding Era for Developers
AI tools have fundamentally changed how developers write, review, and ship code. This session explores the “vibe coding” era — where you describe what you want, and AI helps you build it — and teaches you how to use these tools intentionally rather than blindly.
You’ll leave knowing:
• What vibe coding is and why it’s a skill, not a shortcut
• The best AI tools for developers right now
• How to prompt AI effectively for coding tasks
• How to stay in control of your code while using AI assistance
