3-Day Hands-On Workshop

Build Your First App With AI

Turn your idea into a working application in a practical 3-day AI App Building Workshop. Learn the process, build your own project, and publish something you can actually share.

No programming background needed — the workshop is designed to be approachable for people who are not traditional software developers.

A practical workshop, not a lecture

Over three days you'll learn how AI can help you move from an idea to a functioning application. Every session is hands-on: you generate and validate an idea, plan its features, build a working application with AI-assisted tools, and publish a project you can share. You leave with something real that you built yourself — and can keep developing.
