βBuild with AINative Studio
Format: β
ONLINE ONLY
Duration: 4 Hours
Purpose: Get fully set up before Friday so you can hit the ground running at the main Vibe Coding event (Hybrid: In-Person + Online).
βWelcome to 2026 β letβs start the year by building, not troubleshooting.
βThis Online Builder Setup & Office Hours session is a fully remote, hands-on prep event designed to make sure every participant is technically ready for Vibe Coding: New Year Builder Kickoff the following day.

ββ Have all required tools installed and working
