NEW ZEALAND HISTORY IN THE MAKING: NZ’s First AI VIBEATHON EVENT

I’m excited to be the host and be a part of the media promotional coverage for New Zealands 1st VIBE-ATHON event via NZ Student Life powered by Fresh Fm Te Tau Ihu..
We’ve teamed up with the Nelson AI Sandbox and NMIT to bring you the Vibe-athon 2025. 🚀
Unsure what "Vibe-Coding" actually is? 🎧 Check out this teaser where I sat down with Coilin to unpack VIBE-ATHON event. An event open to any one with no experience required, guided by expert mentors, judged by international judges.

If you have been curious about how AI can help people design, build, and prototype code using AI this interview provides a clear explanation. Coilin outlines how vibe-coding works and what participants can expect on the day.

A full day where anyone can use advanced AI tools to create something new. No coding background required. Curiosity is enough.
