What to expect

This hands-on session explores vibe coding—an emerging AI-powered development approach that lets you build software through natural conversation and intuition rather than traditional syntax. Part of TechBirmingham's eight-session AI series for women in tech (BWIT), this workshop provides a practical, confidence-building introduction to conversational development tools that are transforming how non-traditional developers create functional applications.

What You'll Learn

This session demystifies vibe coding by showing you how modern AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor enable you to describe what you want in plain language and watch code materialize. You'll discover how these conversational interfaces are breaking down traditional barriers to software development, making it accessible to product managers, designers, founders, and anyone with a vision but limited coding experience. The workshop covers practical techniques for effective prompting, iteration strategies, and understanding when vibe coding excels versus when traditional development approaches remain essential.

Who Should Attend

This session is designed for women professionals curious about AI development tools, regardless of technical background. Whether you're exploring career transitions into tech, looking to prototype ideas without hiring developers, or simply want to understand the conversational coding revolution reshaping software creation, you'll find practical takeaways. The BWIT series explicitly welcomes participants with no prior AI or coding experience—just bring curiosity and willingness to experiment.

Session Format

Led by Darby Westfall, this 90-minute in-person workshop takes place over lunch at Innovation Depot in Birmingham, Alabama's premier tech hub. The format encourages hands-on exploration, group discussion, and sharing real-world applications relevant to your professional context. You'll leave with concrete understanding of how vibe coding tools work, their current capabilities and limitations, and practical ideas for incorporating these approaches into your workflow.

Why This Matters

Vibe coding represents a fundamental shift in who can build software. As AI coding assistants become more sophisticated, the traditional gatekeeping around pr
