Event Highlights
The workshop began with an inspiring introduction to the Cambrian age of AI tools, setting the stage for a comprehensive hands-on learning experience led by our distinguished instructor:
1. Chinat Yu from Stanford Graduate School of Education captivated attendees with his expertise in AI vibe coding, sharing insights from winning 10+ hackathons including TreeHacks, and demonstrating how to convert ideas into working prototypes in minutes using cutting-edge AI tools.
The session showcased real-world examples including:
FlowPilot: A Zoom transcript analyzer that won three prizes at TreeHacks, creating presentations and executing actions from meeting conversations
CUPRA Car Scanner: A 3D car modeling project built at a Barcelona hackathon using drone technology and motion-to-structure reconstruction
2. Hands-On Tool Demonstrations featuring comprehensive walkthroughs of:
HeyBoss AI: Complete app generation in 9 minutes from a single prompt
Magic Loops: Allows users to create powerful automations and APIs
Cursor & Claude Code: Advanced AI-powered IDEs for production-ready development
Project Requirement Document (PRD) Generation: Converting ideas into structured development plans
3. Live Coding Sessions where participants experienced:
Real-time prototype development from concept to deployment
GitHub integration and version control with AI assistance
Production deployment workflows using modern CI/CD practices
Advanced debugging strategies using multiple AI coding agents
4. Advanced Workflows including:
Integration of multiple AI tools in parallel development environments
MCP (Model Context Protocol) agent development
Database integration and API endpoint creation
From rapid prototyping to production-scale applications
As we witness the Cambrian age of AI tools, this workshop showcased how barriers to entry have been dramatically lowered, enabling anyone to build impressive projects at lightning speed. From rapid prototyping to production deployment, participants experienced the full spectrum of modern AI-powered development.
Heartfelt gratitude to our instructor, Chinat Yu (Stanford GSE), an MLH Top 50 honoree and TreeHacks winner, who shared cutting-edge coding techniques and real-world insights from over 30 hackathons.
Many thanks to our generous sponsor, HeyBoss AI, and its founder, Xiaoyin Qu (Stanford MBA), for providing free project coupons to sponsor this incredible learning experience.
Last but not least, special thanks to our amazing participants who made this workshop possible!
