Person thinking through a problem to solve

Where you’ll start

  • You think, "I'd like to have an app to do that!"
  • Then you think, "... but I am not an app creator!"
  • But you can be, without coding! Think, Vibe Coding!

What you’ll learn

  • How to specify what you want up‑front (clear, testable prompts).
  • How to iterate with AI to add features until it fits your needs.
  • How to build a simple, working app that saves to your phone.

Who it’s for

Beginners and non‑technical folks. No laptop required—bring your phone and curiosity.

If seats fill, please join the waitlist. We’ll email when new sessions open.

What you’ll leave with

  • A simple app running on your phone.
  • A one‑page cheat sheet for future projects.
  • A method you can repeat: define → build → iterate.
