Frontiers: VibeCode Hackathon
Frontiers: Iași is a monthly gathering for people who want to get their hands dirty with emerging technology instead of just talking about it.
Vibecode Hackathon — Build, Ship, Repeat
There’s a new way of building software emerging.
It’s faster. More chaotic. More creative.
You don’t start with a spec. You start with a vibe.
You prompt. You tweak. You break things. You fix them.
You go from idea → prototype → something that actually works… in hours, not weeks.
This is vibecoding.
Not polished. Not perfect. But very real.
And increasingly, this is how a lot of things will get built.
In this session, we do something simple:
We build.
There will be small prizes, but the most valuable prize will be what you learn, build, and showcase.
Agenda (4 hours)
Quick kickoff: what is vibecoding and how to approach it
Form teams or go solo
Pick an idea (or steal one)
Build with whatever tools you want (LLMs, agents, no-code, code)
Ship something by the end
Demo what you built to everyone
Constraints
Time is limited (that’s the point)
No overthinking
Done > perfect
What you’ll walk away with
A working prototype (or something close enough)
A better feel for building with AI tools
A bit more confidence in shipping fast
Who is it for?
This is for builders.
Developers, designers, product people, tinkerers.
If you’ve been curious about building with AI, this is the fastest way to learn.
If you’re already doing it, come push it further.
This is not for passive attendance.
Bring your laptop. Bring ideas (or borrow some). Come ready to build.
