Build Season

October – December 2026 · Online

Calling all tinkerers and builders to join this AI movement. Explore ideas, vibecode demos, and arrive at a product worth building.

We’re building a community of people solving society’s challenges with AI. For three months, we’ll help you imagine what’s possible, build a demo, and find a way to make it real.

Every month has learning sessions to pick up new skills, community spaces to think out loud with others, and ends in a showcase where selected projects take the stage.

  • Developers and vibe-codersYou can code, or you build with AI tools and want to point them at real problems.
  • Product thinkers and tinkerersYou love taking an idea apart, figuring out who it’s for, and making it work.
  • People in the social impact spaceYou know the problems first-hand and want to see what AI could do about them.

The journey

Three months, one idea-to-build journey

Join for the whole run, or jump in when a month fits you. Each phase builds on the last and ends in a marquee event.

October Schedule confirmed

Ideas Month!

Imagine possibilities with AI

Let’s Build

Build a rough working demo

Refine problem statements, meet your users, write PRDs and vibecode demos. Open to everyone, whether or not you joined in October.

  • Find your user, then turn research into a problem statement and feature list
  • Vibe coding, building agents and user testing
  • Weekly check-ins on Discord, and nudges to find mentors in the space
Ends with Tech Fest, Sat 28 Nov
December Being finalised

Find Validation

Real-world adoption

Time to test: do users even want this? If yes, how do you take it to market?

If a stranger can use it without you standing over their shoulder explaining, you’re onto something real.
  • Value proposition, your first 10 users, and a plan to reach 100
  • Testing with real users, away from the build cave
  • Pitch decks and donor decks
Ends with Pitch Fest, Sat 26 Dec

FAQ

Questions

Do I need an idea before I join?

No. October is for exactly that: exploring sectors, riffing with people who work in them, and finding something you feel inspired to create.

Do I need to know how to code?

Not for October; the Film Fest asks for a vision piece, not a demo. In November you’ll build a rough working demo, and sessions on vibe coding and building agents will help you get there.

Can I join in November or December?

Yes. Build Month is open to everyone, whether or not you took part in October. December is focused on people who built a demo in November and want to test it with real users.

Is it online?

Mostly. Live sessions and marquee events happen online, and some creative sessions are self-paced. We’re also exploring city build weekends in November.

Do I have to come to every session?

No. Pick the sessions that help you. The marquee events are the milestones to aim for.
