Intentional AI: Building with Vibe Coding
Wednesday 15 April 15:00 until 17:00
University of Sussex Campus : Sussex Humanities Lab (opposite SB211) Silverstone Building
Speaker: Paula Del Castillo Vivero and Shaun Ring, LHC Labs
Part of the series: Digital Methods Accelerator (DMA) programme 2025-26
Vibe coding is a new approach to software development where you describe what you want in everyday language and AI builds it for you. No programming knowledge required. It's fast, accessible, and genuinely impressive, but it also raises questions that most introductions skip over entirely.
This hands-on workshop from LHC Labs teaches participants to build working apps using vibe coding tools and to think critically about what they're building. We cover the real issues: security, privacy, cost, environmental impact, ethics, and access. Participants will brainstorm, plan, and build their own app in the session, leaving with something that actually works and a clearer understanding of how to use AI tools responsibly.
No coding experience needed. Just curiosity and a laptop.
The workshop is open to Sussex researchers at all levels - please register using your @sussex.ac.uk email address. Refreshments will be provided.
This workshop is part of The Digital Methods Accelerator (DMA) programme 2025-26, a series of in-person workshops aimed at Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities researchers at all levels wanting to explore and skill up on digital methods for their research.
