Night one
Automate
Build small tools that take the boring bits out of everyday life. You leave with something that works, like a morning briefing that lands in your inbox at 7am.
Two kinds of night
We alternate, every other week
Vibe coding means describing what you want in plain English and letting an AI like Claude or ChatGPT write the code. If you can describe a problem, you can build a fix.
Night two
Vibecode4Good
Pick a real problem, whether it’s social, local or environmental, and build a solution together. Some projects take an evening; some run for months.

Our responsible AI pledge
Build bold. Stay safe.
We open every session with these six habits.
Use a sandbox account
A separate Gmail for experiments while you learn. Real accounts only if you choose.
Keep private stuff out
No passwords, money, health details or other people’s info in AI chats.
Read before you allow
Know what a script wants to access, and why.
Check your AI settings
See whether your chats can be used to train models.
You own the off switch
Stop or delete anything you build, any time.
AI can be wrong
Check its work. You’re the human in charge.
Questions
Before you come
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Most people who come have never written code. The AI writes it; you describe what you want, and helpers walk the room if you get stuck.
Is it free?
Yes. Every session is free, and the tools we use have free versions.
What should I bring?
A charged laptop, a free sandbox Gmail made just for experimenting, and a free Claude or ChatGPT account. We’ll send setup steps before each session.
Who is it for?
Everyone: total beginners, seasoned developers, charity workers, students, the curious. Doors: everyone.
