Claude Touches Grass - How to work remotely

Wissahickon Valley Park, Philadelphia, United States · Coffee & Code Philly
In person

# Claude Touches Grass đŸŒČđŸ„ŸđŸ’» Close the laptop—but don’t stop coding. Join Coffee & Code Philadelphia for a hardcore outdoor coding session where developers, founders, researchers, and AI builders take Claude out of the terminal and onto the trail. Bring your Apple Vision Pro, connect to Claude Code through remote control on your phone, or pack whatever portable setup lets you ship from the wilderness. We’ll hike, find a scenic place to set up, and spend focused time building together surrounded by actual trees instead of desktop wallpaper. This is not a screen-free wellness retreat. There will be code. ### What to expect A social group hike with Philadelphia’s tech community Dedicated outdoor coding and building time Claude Code sessions controlled remotely from your phone Apple Vision Pro and other unconventional coding setups Conversations about AI, startups, open source, and whatever you’re building Optional food or coffee with the group afterward Bring a project you want to advance, a difficult bug you want to defeat, or a completely unreasonable idea you want to prototype in the woods. All hiking and coding experience levels are welcome. We’ll share the route, distance, difficulty, parking information, and weather updates before the event. ### What to bring A phone with Claude remote control configured Apple Vision Pro, laptop, tablet, or another portable setup A charged power bank Mobile hotspot or cellular data Comfortable hiking shoes Water and snacks Weather-appropriate clothing Sunscreen or bug spray as needed Your fully online, artificially hosted neural network Friends are welcome—even the ones who don’t know what Claude is. For everyone’s safety, save the immersive coding for our designated stops. Do not wear a Vision Pro or stare at your phone while actively hiking. Come touch grass, summon Claude, and ship something in the wilderness. 🌿

Grok Bot Meetup Philadelphia — What Are You Building With AI Agents?

Indy Hall Clubhouse at 709 N 2nd St, Philadelphia, United States
In person

Philly knows by now one idea can change your entire workflow. We’re talking about the magic that happens when you run multiple AI agents toward one goal. A lot of people are experimenting with this on their own. It’s rare to get a chance to be in a room and compare notes on what actually works. Learn how to make the flows, the best agents for each step, and new skills you haven’t heard of yet. If you love being around the most curious builders, this is the room. Whether you’ve built agent teams before or you’re just curious about how others are doing it on their projects, come hang with the community and leave with new ideas to try for yourself. What to Expect: This is our first Grok Bot Meetup! So if you’ve been meaning to come to one of these, make it this one. Please RSVP so we can plan. We’re looking forward to seeing what you’re building.
