Upskilling Labs x MXP Studio: From Prompt to Prototype: Building your Professional Website before lunch with AJ Bubb
Build a professional portfolio website in real-time - live, from scratch, alongside AJ Bubb — using Claude and Lovable.dev.
The planet needs builders. On May 16th, a room full of them is showing up on Capitol Hill to spend one Saturday turning climate frustration into working prototypes.
I'm running the 1pm Vibe Coding & Prompt Engineering workshop for the Newcomer Track - and I want you in the room.
Here's what's happening:
Four real climate problems.
Four Pods already mid-cycle on them:
- Carbon Footprint — making the climate cost of our digital lives legible to non-engineers
- Clean Energy — a navigator that cuts through the maze of programs and eligibility rules
- Recycling — telling people what to actually do with what's in their hand
- Sustainable Travel — flipping the calculus on high-impact vs. low-impact choices You don't need to code. You don't need a climate background.
You need a Saturday and the willingness to build something instead of talk about it. The morning is hands-on workshops - design thinking, AI tools, prompt engineering. At 1pm, I'll walk you through vibe coding: building real software through natural-language conversation with AI. By 3:30pm, you're presenting a prototype alongside the Pod you joined after lunch.
This is the thesis I keep coming back to: the people who win the AI era aren't the ones with the deepest technical skills. They're the expert generalists who can think across a problem and turn ideas into working things. May 16th is a one-day version of that.
If "I don't know how to build software" has been the thing stopping you from acting on something you care about — this is the day that excuse retires.
