Whimsical AI and The Art of Vibe Coding
📆 October 1st, 2026 11:30 am EST
You don’t need to know how to code to build a creative project that’s been living in your head. You just need an idea, a little curiosity, and the right AI tools to bring it to life. That’s the whole idea behind vibe coding: building real, functional tools by describing what you want instead of writing lines of syntax.
It also matters who’s doing the building. AI-driven roles have roughly doubled over the past three years, but the opportunity hasn’t landed equally: women accounted for only 26% of U.S. AI hires in 2025, and the gap widens the higher up the ladder you look.
In this free masterclass, Mya Shell and Sharon Jacobs walk you through how they’ve used AI to build their own creative projects from scratch, no dev team required, and why building publicly and confidently is one way to help shift that pattern.
