The App Kitchen
The App Kitchen: Vibe Coding Sprint with Lovable. Get free AI credits, bring an idea, and start building what you want — in under an hour. Hosted by NatWest Accelerator at MK:U | Sponsored by Lovable | Official Fringe Event for Milton Keynes Tech Week 2026. Start building what you want in 60 minutes. No coding background needed.
The App Kitchen is an official Milton Keynes Tech Week fringe event where you get hands-on with the same AI tools modern founders, product teams, and growing businesses use to ship software fast. "Vibe coding" just means describing what you want in plain English and letting AI handle the code — it's a legitimate way to build, not a shortcut around real skill.
This is a focused, hands-on build sprint where you bring the idea, and we provide the space, credits, and guidance. Whether you want to prototype a product for your business, map out an internal cross-departmental dashboard, or experiment with a personal project, you'll walk away with real momentum and a tangible start. How it works:
Register early: Registration opens at 10:30. Arrive early for seat-up
Get set up: Collect your free Lovable AI credits and an optional Prompt Recipe card — a simple framework for turning an idea into clear instructions an AI can build from.
Build: Spend 35 focused minutes bringing your idea to life using our suggested framework or your own preferred workflow.
Show & tell (optional): Demo your live URL or progress to the room.
No long keynotes, no slides to sit through — just the tools, the space, and dedicated time to build.
What to Bring:
A fully charged laptop and charger
