Vibe Coding Bootcamp: Build Your First AI Tool (No Coding Required)
Vibe Coding Bootcamp: Build Your First AI Tool (No Coding Required)
Overview
In this practical three-hour virtual workshop, participants will learn the foundations of “vibe coding” using natural language and free AI tools to design, prototype and test simple working applications.
Rather than discussing AI in abstract terms, participants will:
- Generate an idea for a simple AI tool
- Translate it into structured prompts
- Use accessible tools to build a simple working prototype
- Test, refine and improve it
By the end of the session, every participant will have created a micro-tool they can y use or develop further.
NOTE: We will use the free tier of a vibe coding tool such as Loveable so participants will not need to pay anything for the tools during the workshop.
Who is it for
- Journalists and producers with no coding background
- Editors curious about AI but unsure where to start
- Newsroom and digital teams exploring experimentation
- Innovation and strategy teams seeking low-risk pilots
- Anyone in broadcasting who wants to move from AI user to AI builder
No programming knowledge required.
What you will learn

- Learn a simple structured framework for turning problems into buildable prompts
- Gain confidence working iteratively with AI as a collaborator
- Build and test a simple working tool
- Understand the limitations, risks and editorial safeguards required
