Build with Claude 101: From Idea to Working Prototype (No coding experience needed)
You have an idea for a web app. You just don't know how to build it yet.
This workshop is for non-coders and curious professionals who want to learn how to turn an idea into a working prototype using AI. No coding experience required. Just bring your laptop and an idea.
William will walk you through the full process live: setting up Claude Code, building an app from scratch, and deploying it to the web using Vercel. Then you'll have a full hour to start building your own project with hands-on guidance.
Schedule
3:00 - 3:30pm: Introductions and setup
3:30 - 4:30pm: Live demo: from zero to deployed app
4:30 - 5:30pm: Build your own project (with guidance)
5:30pm - : Optional Dinner / Happy Hour at Chef Geoff's West End
What to bring
A laptop. Seriously, bring one. This is a hands-on workshop, not a lecture.
To speed up building, create an account for the following before the event if you haven't done so yet:
-> Highly Recommended: Claude, Vercel, Github
-> Optional: Google Cloud or AWS (pick one)
-> Cool to Explore on your own: Exa, Resend, PostHog
An idea for something you want to build. It can be small. A tool for your job, a side project, a silly experiment. The simpler the better.
Who this is for
People who work in non-technical roles but want to start building with AI. If you've been curious about "vibe coding" but never had the time, resources, or training to try it, this is your opportunity.
