ConferenceIn person

Western Sydney Startup Hub - Spacecubed, North Parramatta, Australia
Western Sydney Tech Innovators

Welcome to WSTI's AI Project Hub—the hands-on heart of the WSTI community's AI Shed model. This isn't a traditional class or a lecture. It’s a weekly, drop-in "Shed" designed for collaborative, project-based learning, where we support each other turning ideas (beginner or ambitious) into real, working prototypes and projects. Whether you're a founder with a specific problem, a developer testing a new tool, or a complete beginner curious about what you can make, this is your space to build, learn, and collaborate. What to expect: Quick Pitch: To spark some inspiration, we’ll have a few informal, low-pressure "progress check-ins" where attendees can briefly share what they’re working on. Space to Build: No formal lectures here. Just a supportive environment to polish your prototype, refine your code, or finalise your pitch. Guides on the Side: Our technical mentors will be mingling in the room. They’re ready to offer a helpful nudge, architectural advice, or a tool recommendation if you hit a roadblock. Community Wisdom: If our mentors don’t have the answer, they’ll connect you with someone else in the room who does. We’re all about sharing what we learn. Curiosity is Welcome: You don’t need a hackathon project to pull up a chair. If you’re a regular from our Project Hub looking to share your knowledge, or just a curious neighbour. We have community laptops with access to some AI tools if you aren't able to bring your own. Tools/Topics discussed may include: ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Opensource AI Models. Platforms like n8n and other automation tools. Coding vibe coding like Lovable, Replit, Antigravity and Cursor. Frameworks such as BMAD. Image and video generators like Midjourney, Nanobanana and Video models such as Kling, Veo & Seedance. By attending this event, you consent that you may be photographed and recorded on video. These photos and videos may be used for marketing and promotional purposes in the future. If you have any concerns please
