AI-Powered Ideation with Claude: From Idea to MVP

​The Houston Hackathon is September 25. This is your head start.

​Join the Houston Claude Community for a hands-on ideation night. This isn't a talk about ideas — it's a working session where you take a rough idea all the way to a real, buildable MVP, using Claude as your thinking partner. Bring your own idea, or work from a civic prompt tied to the hackathon.

​Here's the journey we'll run together: — Idea → concept: sharpen a rough idea into something real — Concept → problem statement: get brutally clear on the problem and who has it — Problem → MVP: define the smallest thing actually worth building — MVP → visual design: watch an idea become something you can see

​Everyone starts on the same path using a free Claude account — nothing to install. If you have Claude Pro, you'll keep going into Claude Design and turn your MVP into a real visual design in the room. If you're on the free version, you'll walk out with a complete idea-to-MVP plan and see exactly what Design makes possible.

​You'll leave with a process you can use at the hackathon on the 25th — or for any idea you want to get off the ground quickly.

​What to bring: — Your laptop, charged — A free Claude account (claude.ai) — that's all you need to fully participate — Optional: if you have Claude Pro, you'll be able to build along in Claude Design. Not required to join. — A rough idea, if you've got one (or use ours)

​Doors open at 6:00 PM. Program runs 6:30–8:00 PM.

​This is the final event in our summer series leading into the Houston Hackathon on September 25, in partnership with Impact Hub Houston. Come ready to build.
