About Event

Silicon Valley has long celebrated technical founders and engineers, often overlooking the creative minds held back by a lack of coding skills.  

We believe that anyone with a great idea should be able to build, with or without a CS degree. That’s why we are Untechnically, a collective dedicated to empowering the “non-tech” people to build! By creating an encouraging and educational environment, we want to help everyone explore the daunting technical aspects of building a product and bringing their creativity to life.  

Whether it’s software, a game, or a Chrome extension, let’s discover what your MVP looks like and build it with the help of AI.  

Who we’re looking for:  

Example A: a product manager with great ideas but no clue how to bring them to life.  

Example B: a marketer who wants to build a game but doesn’t know how to code in Unity.  

Example C: You, reading this post :D

Join us on Saturday for a fun, low-stress, four-hour mini-hackathon! Take it as a chance to explore the best AI coding tools on the market and an opportunity to put your heart into building stuff.

Agenda: 

2:00–2:30 PM: Kickoff + Idea Sharing
⚙️ 2:30–3:30 PM: AI Tool Setup (Cursor, Trae, Codeium, etc.) +  Workflows Sharing
🚀 3:30–5:30 PM: Build Your MVP
🎤 5:30–6:00 PM: Demo Time! Pitch what you made—and what’s next.

Bonus: We have several technical builders on-site to unblock you during the process.
