What this is

Not a class. Not a webinar.
A creative playground for the curious.

Prompt Play is a hands-on, low-pressure space where curious minds, families, and builders explore what's possible when you treat AI like a creative partner. Bring an idea — or just bring yourself.

Vibecoding & Prototyping

Build real, working things by describing what you want — no computer-science degree required.

Good People & Conversations

Coffee, community, and the kind of side conversations that turn into real projects.

Big Ideas & Real Projects

Start something that matters — a tool, a story, a product — and leave with momentum.

From Prompt to Possibility

Turn a sentence into a prototype, a workflow, and — by night three — a real-world object.

You'll leave with a working prototype, a prompt workflow you'll actually use, and a few new people in your corner. No experience necessary — just curiosity.

3 nights · 3 themes

Pick a night. Or come to all three.

Each Tuesday builds on the last — but every night stands on its own. Register for whichever themes pull at you.
