Online (Zoom)

Have you always wanted to be a digital creator, but not sure where to start? Join us for an inspiring and accessible webinar designed specifically for UCalgary alumni with no prior tech background. 

Along with an introduction to the Vibe Coding platform, we’ll explore how the tech landscape has shifted, lowering the barriers to entry so that people from all disciplines — not just coders — can turn their ideas into real apps. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, educator, or just curious about building something new, this webinar will show you how to take the first step toward becoming an app creator in today’s no-code/low-code era. 

No tech jargon. Just practical insights, live demos, and a welcoming space to discover your creative potential.
