⚡ Boston TechWeek Vibe Coding Camp : Build Fast. Ship Faster. Learn the Entire AI Dev Stack.

Welcome to 2026 — we’re building, not debating.

Vibe Coding Camp is a hands-on, hybrid build session for developers, founders, indie hackers, designers, and AI-curious builders who want to explore modern AI-native workflows across the entire AI Builder ecosystem — not just one tool.

This is where you experiment with the best AI coding environments available today and learn how to build faster using structured AI pair programming.

🧠 What Is Vibe Coding?

Vibe Coding is:

Rapid AI pair programmingPrompt-first iterationReal-time architecture thinkingBuilding before over-planningShipping small → testing → improving

It’s creative, technical, and slightly chaotic — but grounded in real workflows.

🛠 What You’ll Build With

This camp is tool-agnostic by design.

You’ll experiment with:

🔥 AI IDEs & Coding Agents

Windsurf IDECursorKiroAntiGravityTraeClaude CodeGoogle CLIAINative IDE (Open Source)

We’ll compare workflows, prompting styles, and system design approaches across these environments.

🧱 AI Infrastructure & Dev Stack

ZeroDB — vector memory, embeddings, event storageAIKit — production-ready AI UI componentsAINative APIsAINative Code (Open Source CLI)Multi-agent workflowsLocal + cloud Model deployment setupsOpenClaw — peer-to-peer AI agent runtime

OpenClaw will be introduced as an experimental layer for:

Running agents locallyPeer-to-peer coordinationDistributed AI collaborationExploring private AI networks

We’ll explore what happens when your AI workflows aren’t just local or cloud — but decentralized.

This session is about understanding:

How do these tools actually fit together in a real AI-native build process?

🛠️ What We’ll Do (Live)

You’ll:

Build a small AI-native app from scratchCompare AI coding workflows across multiple IDEsUse ZeroDB for memory + embeddingsWire UI using AIKitExperiment with different prompting patternsTest structured vs. unstructured AI pair programmingDeploy or locally run your prototypeExperiment with OpenClaw agent nodes

You can:

Follow the guided buildOr bring your own project and vibe-code it live

Mentors will float between teams helping refine architecture and workflows.

🎯 What You’ll Leave With

A working AI-native project (or validated prototype)Experience using multiple AI IDEsA mental model for tool selection in 2026A repeatable workflow for AI pair programmingClarity on when to use which platformRules for your IDE or CLI Coding toolSkills for AINative, Claude Code, Open Claw

This is about learning how to think — not just copy commands.
