Build Your Website Tonight With AI: Complete Beginners

The August 31 occurrence of a recurring Paris workshop for people with no coding background, held in the salle Marie Curie at the Foyer International des Etudiantes on Boulevard Saint-Michel.

Participants work in pairs and direct an AI assistant to write the code for a website, then read and edit that code themselves. The agenda covers a plain-language explanation of how ChatGPT-style models actually work, watching the site get generated live, personalising the design through dialogue with the model, hands-on manual code edits, and publishing the result.

Everyone finishes with a functioning site reachable through a QR code.

The session states no prerequisites at all: if you can send an email, that is enough. A laptop is optional because pairing is possible, but a free GitHub account must be created in advance. This date is capped at 20 participants.

Facilitator Thomas Bourgeois is a civil engineering graduate with roughly twenty years of coding experience, seven of them in AI. The workshop doubles as an on-ramp to the Cours Socrate evening programming course. This is a distinct occurrence from the 24 August and 7 September sessions, each with its own registration.
