Let's Vibe at XI - Special Session: Make Something

Let’s Vibe at XI Where Builders Come to Share, Learn, and Level Up. Second Thursdays, 5–7 PM September Special Session: MAKE SOMETHING Can AI actually build my idea? We’re excited to welcome Stephanie Battista Hubbard, Head of Innovation at Humanity Innovation Labs and XI Mentor, for a hands-on session about turning ideas into working prototypes with AI. Vibe Coding 101: Idea → Prototype Stephanie will kick things off with a fast-paced, 30-minute exploration of vibe coding and what today’s AI development tools can actually do. Through a live build, we’ll explore tools like Lovable, Bolt, Base44, Claude, Codex, and others - and see how the same idea can produce very different results depending on the tool. Then it’s your turn to build. For the remaining 90 minutes, we’ll Level Up Your Build. Bring your September prototype - or start something new - and focus on making one important part actually work. Add a database, authentication, an API, AI capability, payments, a user workflow, or get your project deployed to the web. Come with an idea. Leave with something that works. Come Prepared to Build This is a hands-on session, so a little prep will help you make the most of our time together: Show up ready to experiment, build, and see how far you can take your idea in one evening. Grab your spot, show up, and vibe with us. Light snacks and water will be available. Anyone is welcome to attend who is interested in learning more about Vibe Coding or expanding their skills.
