Never written a line of code? Good. It's time for non-technical people to join the hackathon-and become builders in one afternoon.

On September 4, Builder Pub is bringing the first-ever Non-Tech Buildathon to AWS Builder Loft in San Francisco.

We'll begin with a short, hands-on introduction showing you how to use AI to build a working tool from scratch. Then, bring your own idea, join someone else's, or form a team on the spot-and spend the afternoon turning an idea into something you can demo.

You don't need coding experience, AI experience, a team, or even an idea before you arrive. We'll help you find a place to start & stay nearby whenever you get stuck.

How to Register

Please register through the AWS Builder Loft Portal: http://events.builder.aws.com/d/hcz0qt (Required by AWS)

Who This Is For

This event is for designers, marketers, founders, operators, creators, students, & anyone who has ever thought:

I have an idea, but I don't know how to build it.

Hackathons sound exciting, but I'm not technical.

I want to build with AI, but I don't know where to begin.

How It Works

You can pitch an idea, join a project that sounds exciting, form a team with people you meet, or build independently.

Your project could be a useful personal tool, small web app, AI assistant, game, interactive experience, or something completely unexpected.

You bring the problem, the taste, & the decisions. AI helps with the technical implementation.

We'll end with a community showcase, where teams & solo builders can demo what they created. Expect ambitious ideas, imperfect prototypes, last-minute fixes, & a few fun awards.

What You'll Leave With

A working project or prototype

Firsthand experience building with AI

A practical way to keep developing your ideas

New connections with other curious builders

Proof that you don't need a technical background to build

What to Bring

Your fully charged laptop

An idea, a problem, or simply your curiosity
