The Houston Hackathon is September 25. This is your head start.
Join the Houston Claude Community for a hands-on ideation night. This isn't a talk about ideas, it's a working session where you take a rough idea all the way to a real, buildable MVP, using Claude as your thinking partner. Bring your own idea, or work from a civic prompt tied to the hackathon.
Here's the journey we'll run together:, Idea → concept: sharpen a rough idea into something real, Concept → problem statement: get brutally clear on the problem and who has it, Problem → MVP: define the smallest thing actually worth building, MVP → visual design: watch an idea become something you can see
Everyone starts on the same path using a free Claude account, nothing to install. If you have Claude Pro, you'll keep going into Claude Design and turn your MVP into a real visual design in the room. If you're on the free version, you'll walk out with a complete idea-to-MVP plan and see exactly what Design makes possible.
You'll leave with a process you can use at the hackathon on the 25th, or for any idea you want to get off the ground quickly.
What to bring:, Your laptop, charged, A free Claude account (claude.ai), that's all you need to fully participate, Optional: if you have Claude Pro, you'll be able to build along in Claude Design. Not required to join., A rough idea, if you've got one (or use ours)
Doors open at 6:00 PM. Program runs 6:30–8:00 PM.
This is the final event in our summer series leading into the Houston Hackathon on September 25, in partnership with Impact Hub Houston. Come ready to build.
