The First Non-Tech Buildathon

Come with an idea. Leave with a product.

On September 4, join Builder Pub at AWS Builder Loft San Francisco for a free, hands-on AI buildathon where anyone—from first-time builders to experienced engineers—can turn an idea into a working product in one afternoon.

🤝 With support from our Build Partners, Lovable, ElevenLabs, and Linkup, and our Community Partners, Bond AI and AI Camp, we’re bringing together builders from across the community to learn, build, and ship.

No coding or AI experience required.

⚠️ AWS Registration Required

To attend, please complete both registrations:

1. Register on this Luma page

2. Register through the AWS Builder Loft portal

🚀 What You’ll Do

We’ll start with a short guided walkthrough to help everyone get building quickly.

Then you’ll spend the afternoon turning an idea into a working product using:

• Lovable to build your product

• ElevenLabs to add voice and audio

• Linkup to bring real-time web information into your project

Build a useful personal tool, web app, AI assistant, game, interactive experience, or something completely unexpected.
