Seriously, Anyone Can Build Something.

• Don't know how to start? Perfect. We use AI tools that respond to plain English. We show you exactly how to prompt.
• 2-Hour Sprint: Fast, high-energy, and satisfying. You walk away with a real project or prototype.
• Low Stakes, High Reward: Experiment without fear. Plus, a random attendee wins a $100 Amazon Gift Card at every single event!
• In-Person & Virtual: Join us in Seattle or from your living room anywhere in the world.
• All Ages Welcome: Kids and students are encouraged to participate alongside adults—it's a great way to learn AI together.

Who Is This For?

• The Daydreamer: Would-be entrepreneurs who have never launched their own idea. Turn "what if" into a functional prototype in two hours.
• The Idea Hunter: Curious entrepreneurs waiting for inspiration to strike. Test concepts quickly and find your next big venture.
• The Tech-Adjacent: People who work in tech but aren't software developers. Master the tools that allow you to build without engineering tickets.
• The Upskiller: Looking for work or better positioning? Build a portfolio of AI-powered projects to prove your value in the modern workforce.
• The Creative: Artists, designers, or writers. Learn how to bridge the gap between your imagination and a working digital product.
• The Experimenter: This is your chance to try AI tools or build with low stakes. No pressure, no wrong answers—just create.

The Simple 4-Step Process:

1. Show up with a laptop (join in-person or online).
2. The Reveal: We reveal the theme. You tell the AI what you want to make.
3. The Build: The AI builds it. You tweak it. We help you along the way.
4. The Demo: We demo some work and give away the $100 Amazon Gift Card!
