Vibe Coding Buildathon with Lovable
Arrive with an idea. Leave with a published app. Here is the full programme of the day — seven blocks, two build sprints, live demos and prizes.
Programmes of the day
Every block has one job: to move your app from an idea in your head to a live URL anyone can open by 6 PM.
Opening & team formation

Everyone starts the day with a seat, a team and a working Lovable account.

Your first screen is on the web before the session ends.
Build sprint 1 — the working product
10:30 AM – 1:00 PMGuided sprint with mentors on the floor: pages, navigation, database, login and roles for your own idea.
A real app you can log into, with data that saves.
Lunch & idea clinic
1:00 – 2:00 PMLunch break with an open clinic — bring a stuck screen, a messy prompt or a business question to a mentor's table.
Blockers cleared before the second sprint starts.
Build sprint 2 — AI, payments & publish

A public link anyone in the world can open.
