Our activities
We’re a student-run society for anyone who wants to try AI on something they care about. Any course is welcome. No coding experience needed.
Make a web app
Pick an idea and get a first version working. We’ll help you get started if it’s your first time.
Show what you made
Try each other’s apps, get feedback and share your finished project at the end of the term.
THE BUILD JOURNEYFrom first idea
From first idea
to something real.
A rough five-session programme. You’ll go from exploring ideas to building an app you can share and demonstrate.
