AI Coding Jam at Siena College
We are on the mission to foster local hubs where developers connect, learn and grow together.
This time we will run a coding jam, providing a moderator and a 2-hour workshop where participants use Google's Antigravity to develop a working app, mostly using AI. Through the process we lay out, participants step through everything they would need to do to build an app of their own design. We will work on one specific application (from this page—> https://codingjam.dev/).
