Vibe Coding Sprint with Softr. Get free AI credits, bring an idea, and start building what you want - in under an hour.

Hosted by NatWest Accelerator at MK:U | Sponsored by Softr | Fringe Event for Milton Keynes Tech Week 2026. Start building what you want in 60 minutes. No coding background needed.

​The App Kitchen is a Milton Keynes Tech Week fringe event where you get hands-on with the same AI tools modern founders, product teams, and growing businesses use to ship software fast. "Vibe coding" just means describing what you want in plain English and letting AI handle the code - it's a legitimate way to build, not a shortcut around real skill.

​This is a focused, hands-on build sprint where you bring the idea, and we provide the space, credits, and guidance. Whether you want to prototype a product for your business, map out an internal cross-departmental dashboard, or experiment with a personal project, you'll walk away with real momentum and a tangible start.

How it works:

​Register early: Registration opens at 12.30. Arrive early for set-up and to claim your free softr credits.

​Get set up: Collect your free Softr AI credits.

​Build: Spend 35mins focused minutes bringing your idea to life using our suggested framework or your own preferred workflow.

​Show & tell (optional): Demo your live URL or progress to the room.

​No long keynotes, no slides to sit through - just the tools, the space, and dedicated time to build.

​What to Bring:

​A fully charged laptop and charger

Your Hosts:

Sean Lord – Host & Organiser, The App Kitchen

Sean Lord has more than 20 years' experience in technology sales and marketing, and he has lived and worked in Hong Kong, the USA, Sweden and the UK. His career covers cybersecurity, telecoms and SaaS. He has worked for a Tier 1 American network provider, Israeli cybersecurity companies, and Indian and Singaporean anti-DDoS specialists. Across those roles he has turned complex technical products into compelling stories, partner programmes and pipelines in markets around the world.

Sean now combines that enterprise experience with a builder's toolkit. He uses AI and no-code platforms such as Lovable to build working apps and GTM tools, and he helps founders and start-ups do the same. He supports them in moving quickly from idea to working prototype, then thinking through how it fits with real systems, customers and a route to market.

Sean founded Vibe Coding MK, a practical meetup where founders, SME owners, professionals and first-time builders turn ideas into working prototypes in a single evening. He brings that same hands-on approach to MK Tech Week as host and organiser of The App Kitchen. On 12 October at MK:U he hosts the Lovable session, with on-site registration from 10:30 and the build starting at 11:00. No coding background is needed. Bring one idea and leave with something real.
