SUMMARY:ctrl+alt+create live: AI / Vibe Coding for Everybody
DESCRIPTION:ctrl+alt+create live is a free\, hands-on community event where technical and non-technical people build real software with AI — together. You don’t need to know how to code: if you can describe what you want in plain English\, you can “vibe code” it with help from the room. \nEach session pairs a short teaching segment with hands-on building. Bring a laptop and an idea (or let the random-word wheel give you one)\, learn the tools\, then build and showcase something in a couple of hours. Entrepreneurs\, business owners\, students\, creatives\, and curious first-timers are all welcome — in person in Seattle or online. \nThe community is founded by Seattle’s Chris Pirillo (LockerGnome) and meets on the last Saturday of each month\, with weekly streams and an active Discord in between. \nWhen: Saturday\, June 27\, 2026\, 12:00–3:00 PM\nWhere: Seattle + online\nCost: Free \nRegister on Luma.

SUMMARY:The Founder Sprint
DESCRIPTION:The Founder Sprint is a 48-hour “anti-hackathon” for AI-native builders — a two-day startup-building experience where the goal isn’t shipping the most features\, but finding the strongest evidence that an idea actually matters to real people. It’s application-only and capped at 100 hand-picked builders. \nDay 1 — The Forge (Sat\, July 11\, 11am–7pm): A day of workshops on the methodology founders use to validate ideas — finding problems worth solving\, rapid validation\, and AI-native building with tools like Claude\, Cursor\, v0\, and Lovable — plus team formation and experiment design. \nDay 2 — Launch Day (Sun\, July 12\, 8:30am–7:15pm): A 10-hour build sprint with two mentor rounds\, a science-fair demo round\, and final pitches to a panel of judges and investors. The winning team takes $3\,000 cash\, $10K in credits\, and three months of mentorship\, with $23K+ in total cash and credits across the top three teams. \nWho it’s for: Builders from any field\, swinging at ambitious problems — robotics\, climate\, longevity\, frontier compute and more. No CS degree required; what matters is AI fluency. Teams of two to four (no solo entries this year). \nWhat’s included: The full two-day experience\, food and coffee\, credits for the AI tools you use\, mentors and judges who’ve shipped real products\, and a builder network that continues after the event. \nLocation: Bellevue\, WA (Eastside Seattle). The exact\, ADA-accessible venue is revealed to confirmed attendees ahead of the event. \nHow to apply: Submit the free application (about five minutes); every application is read by a human\, with rolling decisions through the June 30 deadline. \nApply and find full details here.

SUMMARY:Math Out Loud - Exploring Shapes in the Fourth Dimension and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:What happens when we try to draw\, fold\, and visualize objects in four dimensions? Join mathematician Satyan Devadoss for a fascinating journey beyond the limits of ordinary space\, inspired by the art of Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dalí. \nThrough striking visual imagery\, you’ll explore shapes and drawings in higher dimensions\, uncover a geometric mystery dating back to Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer\, and discover how ideas about folding and unfolding shapes connect to everything from airbag design to the James Webb Space Telescope.

SUMMARY:How to Talk to Your Kids About Money at Every Age
DESCRIPTION:​You’ll leave this lecture with many ways on how to help your kid/teen acquire financial literacy skills through action. \n​🔔 Schedule\n– 12:00 – 12:15 – Networking / Arrival\n– 12:15 – 1:00 – Money Talk + Strategizing Seminar\n– 1:00 – 1:15 – Project Planning\n– 1:15 – 1:30 – Networking \n​> What are you getting yourself into? \n​I teach kids and audiences how to invest in a world they want to see. To put their money where their mouth is and influence change around them. \n​We’ll also discuss the ways money is manipulated by financial institutions and used against us… since so often\, the time in your life you learn a LOT about money is when you’re older and can afford less risk. So you take the safe route\, even though you may not ethically agree with it entirely. \n​But ignorance is bliss\, and knowledge is power. When people are better informed\, they can make better decisions. \n​One of my favorite quotes is\, “When a brave man takes a stand\, the spines of others often stiffen.” So\, let’s learn about the popular ways people make money – then look into the pro/cons of each… and how we can be a bit more risky – yet – beneficial for the long term. \n​Kids have the great opportunity to take risks\, follow their intuition\, and support a future they want to grow up in. \n​When I tell people I teach kids about money\, nearly everyone replies either:\n– Do you teach adults?\n– I wish I had that as a kid! \n​Let’s do both. Review what we already know about money and figure out some fun ways to get your kids more money-conscious. \n​Financial literacy is long-term thinking. It’s a way to take care of yourself with skills/tools to provide for yourself. \n​We’ll talk about appropriate ways to discuss money with: \n​Babies: respect for money \n​Toddlers: critical thinking in spending \n​Kids: your turn to earn + spend \n​PreTeens: your turn to invest \n​Teens: long-term thinking \n​Young Adults: share your story \n​Adults: reassurance and reminders \n​Your host: Kelly Kirk\, founder of Kelly Tutors\, educator to 10\,000+ students\, and mother of a 4yo. \n​Free. Capitol Hill Branch\, Seattle Public Library. July 22\, 12–1:30pm.
