3-Hour Intro to Vibe Coding Workshop
Workshop Description
Software development is no longer limited to people who know how to code. With vibe coding, learners describe what they want to build in plain English, and AI tools generate the code, structure, and interface.
This 3-hour introductory workshop introduces learners to the vibe coding workflow: turning a software idea into a working prototype through natural language instructions. Participants will explore how tools such as Lovable and Claude Code support app building, how to describe build intent clearly, and how to identify what AI-generated software can and cannot do.
The focus is on understanding the build process, not becoming a programmer. Learners will see how a simple web app or prototype can be created, tested, refined, and prepared for future development using AI-assisted software building.
Why Attend This Workshop?
✔ Understand how vibe coding turns plain English instructions into working software
✔ Analyse what makes a good AI build prompt
✔ Assess what types of apps, dashboards, tools, and MVPs can be built with AI
✔ Examine how AI-generated projects are structured and refined
✔ Understand the difference between a quick prototype and a sustainable software project
Workshop Outline
- Understand what vibe coding is and how it differs from traditional software development
- Explore the tool landscape, including Lovable, Claude Code, GitHub, and deployment platforms
- Analyse the key elements of a strong build prompt
- Demonstrate how a simple web app can be generated using natural language
- Examine common issues in AI-generated builds and how to describe fixes
- Evaluate suitable business use cases for vibe coding
Workshop Highlights
Phase 1 — Vibe Coding Foundations
✔ Understand the shift from writing code to directing AI
✔ Compare vibe coding with prompt engineering, no-code tools, and traditional development
✔ Identify suitable use cases such as MVPs, landing pages, dashboards, and internal tools
Phase 2 — Build Intent and Prototype Creation
✔ Break down the 5-element build prompt framework
✔ Translate a rough app idea into a clearer build instruction
✔ Observe how AI generates a working interface or simple web application
Phase 3 — Testing, Refinement, and Use Case Evaluation
✔ Identify common problems in AI-generated projects
✔ Learn how to describe errors and improvement requests clearly
✔ Assess whether vibe coding is suitable for different business and project needs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
No. This workshop is designed for non-coders. The focus is on describing what you want to build and understanding how AI turns that description into software.
No. This is a 3-hour intro workshop. You will see how a simple prototype can be created and refined, but the full 2-day course covers hands-on building, deployment, databases, APIs, and project presentation.
No. Prompt engineering usually focuses on improving AI text outputs. Vibe coding focuses on building working software such as web apps, dashboards, MVPs, and internal tools.
The workshop will introduce tools such as Lovable and Claude Code, with brief context on GitHub, Vercel, Netlify, and Supabase. The intro workshop focuses on understanding the workflow rather than full technical setup.
For the intro workshop, installation may not be required if the session uses browser-based demonstrations. The full 2-day course requires setup for tools such as Claude Code and GitHub.
This workshop introduces the vibe coding mindset, tool landscape, and build prompt logic. The full 2-day course extends into hands-on app building, debugging, API integration, Supabase database setup, deployment, and sustainable project maintenance.
