Welcome to Vibe Coding Fridays - a collaborative space into AI-enhanced software development! Every Friday, we dive deep into cutting-edge AI coding tools, techniques, and workflows while building real solutions for high-performance computing and AI research.
Transform how we think about programming by mastering human-AI collaboration in software development. Through hands-on exploration, we're discovering the most effective ways to leverage AI as a coding partner, not just a tool.
When: Every Friday, 10am-1pm CDT
Duration: 12 weeks (Summer 2025)
Format: 3-hour sessions combining tutorials, hands-on coding, and knowledge synthesis
- 🏗️ Phase 1 (June): AI-Native Development Foundations
- 🎨 Phase 2 (July): Individual AI Mastery
- 🏆 Phase 3 (August): Competitive AI Innovation
