Hack the Friction: A Bear Solution Sprint x Lovable
We all know the everyday friction points in our student experience—feeling overstimulated by all the events, treks, and information flowing around, hunting for study spaces, or bridging the gap between EW and FT cohorts.
We’re taking ownership to Question the Status Quo! Introducing Hack the Friction. This is a half-day sprint for students to team up and build tangible fixes for our own pain points.
No Coding Skills? No Problem. We are thrilled to announce that this event in collaboration with Lovable. You don't need to be a software engineer to build a working app here. With Lovable, you just describe what you want in plain English, and their AI writes the code, designs the interface, and handles the backend infrastructure.
Already building something? Bring it! This is the perfect chance to get hands-on experience with Lovable to accelerate your current project. Plus, all attendees get one month free of Lovable Pro.
