Moms Build It
You’re a mom and your creativity hasn’t stymied. Maybe you have a great business idea and need help to bring it to life. Or, you’ve been in the same job doing the same thing for a while, and you’re feeling the itch to dream about something new. Or - you just keep encountering the same frustrating problem over and over and haven’t yet found that perfect solution, so you want to build it yourself. Sound familiar?
Join us for Moms Build It, an evening for moms who are balancing ambition and motherhood. We will get a chance to connect and then we’ll have a brief workshop on building websites, shops, apps, and digital tools with no-code AI tools like Lovable. Bring your idea, leave with something real.
No experience required.
You will receive 100 free Lovable credits—more than enough to build that idea that’s been living in your head rent free.
Agenda:
4-4:30pm: Connect with other moms
4:30: Intro
4:45-5:30pm: Build your idea!
5:30-6pm: Select Builders Present
Light refreshments will be provided by Le Village Cowork Lakeview.
