An introduction to Vibe Coding webinar delivered by Tom Watson from Data for Action.

Join Tom Watson from Data for Action for a one-hour introduction to Vibe Coding - a fun, flexible approach to digital making that bridges the gap between no-code tools and full programming. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned maker, this session will show you how to use Vibe Coding to build things faster, think more creatively, and stay in your flow.

You’ll discover:


• What Vibe Coding is and how it sits between drag-and-drop and traditional development.
• When and how to use it for creative projects, prototyping, and everyday digital work.
• Top tips for getting the most from Vibe Coding tools and workflows.
• Two live demos - one totally beginner-friendly, and one exploring more advanced, AI-powered tools like Cursor.
• A Q&A with space for your own questions.

What You’ll Learn


By the end of this one-hour session, you’ll:
• Understand the core principles of Vibe Coding - how it combines natural language, AI tools, and lightweight code.
• Be able to spot where Vibe Coding fits best (and when full coding or no-code tools are better options).
• Know how to experiment safely and confidently with AI-assisted tools like Cursor, Loveable, or Claude Code.
• Leave with resources, top tips, and inspiration to start your own Vibe Coding projects.

No prior coding experience is required - just curiosity and a willingness to play.

Perfect for: Creatives, community organisers, researchers, data-curious people, and anyone interested in getting more hands-on with digital making.
