VIBE CODE BOOT CAMP 2026, 14-15 March

Welcome to an intensive weekend at Umeå University, where you’ll explore Vibe Coding and build a digital prototype from a new idea.

Vibe Coding is an AI‑driven way to create software simply by describing what you want to build in natural language—no manual coding needed. You focus on the concept while the AI generates the prototype. Throughout the weekend, you’ll learn the essentials of vibe coding and you will end the event with a fully functional prototype. 

You can join with a full team or sign up individually and be matched with others. Bring an idea to work on, or create one during the event.

The boot camp ends with a pitch session where all teams present their prototypes—and winners is selected.

SET UP

Saturday, 14 March

08:30–12:00 – Introduction, Check‑in & Business Model Workshop
The day begins with an overview of the weekend where you meet your team. After checking in, participants dive straight into brainstorming ideas and define what you want to build. You will receive feedback throughout the process from on-site business developers.

12:00 – Lunch

13:00–18:00 – Wireframing & Vibe Coding 
Now you begin transforming your ideas into something tangible—sketches, wireframes, mock‑ups, and early prototypes. This is where concepts evolve into actual solutions with look, feel, and structure.

18:00 – Pizza & How to Build a Great Pitch 
Now you get tools how to pitch your project and demo your prototype.
