Vibe Coding Fundamentals for 100% beginners w/ Lovable
Details
If you've been looking for a sign to finally try building something with AI, this is it!
Join us for a beginner-friendly evening of building with AI, meeting new people, and creating a personal project with Lovable! They will kindly provide credits for all of our guests of the night :)
Your guide for the evening is Joseph Wan, a creative technologist, who enjoys exploring new tools, building in public, and making tech feel approachable for everyone.
What you'll learn
This one's built for complete beginners. If you're more advanced, come along too, especially if you're up for sharing what you know with whoever you get randomly teamed up with. That's half the fun.
Where to even start when you've got an idea and no clue how to build it
Front-end vs back-end, what they actually are and why it still matters
Connecting your app to API data, and MCP
Picking the right AI tool for the job instead of getting stuck on one
Complexity
⭐ (1/3 stars). No coding background required. We will teach you all basis you need to start vibe coding from 0.
You'll team up in small groups and build something together. Make an app, a game, a website, or whatever idea you come up with. There's no pressure to finish or ship anything. The goal is simply to experiment and have fun.
Who’s it for?
Anyone curious about AI, wanting to try vibe coding, or just likes creating things. If you're mostly coming for the people, and an excuse to build something gloriously silly, that's a perfectly good reason too :))
What to bring? Laptop and vibes!

These events are free and always will be, but we're now asking for donations if you can. We're independent and rely on our community to keep going: renting venues, prepping materials, covering the everyday costs of putting these on, and bringing more events to more cities, online and offline. Anything you can chip in helps us keep doing this.
Vibe Coding Collective is a global community helping anyone turn ideas into working software with AI. We host relaxed social coding jams in bars, cafés, and maker spaces. Whether you're a developer or have never written a line of code, you'll fit right in!
