Tolulope Olugbemi — Fri, 26 Dec 2025 10:40:15 +0000

So, I’ve decided to start writing again, this time with a mentor and a few books to guide me. My writing style might evolve, but bear with me 🙏🏾🥹

In this post, I want to share something exciting: free resources GitHub offers to tech students.

Like Digital Ocean, 1Password, GitHub Copilot Pro, and free domain name from Namecheap

And yes, Nigerian students are included (thank you, GitHub! 🙌🏾).

If you're 13 or older and currently in school, you’re eligible. Let’s walk through the steps to get your GitHub Student Developer Pack.

Alright, let's get right into the steps

🎓 Step-by-Step Guide to Getting the GitHub Student Pack

Step 1: Visit the GitHub Student Pack Page

Search for “GitHub Student Developer Pack” on Google, or click this link:
https://education.github.com/pack

Step 2: Sign Up or Log In

If you don’t have a GitHub account, click “Sign up for Student Developer Pack.”
If you already have one, just sign in

Step 3: Fill Out Your Student Info

Use a working email (school email if available, but any valid one works)
Select your role as a Student
Choose your school from the dropdown

Click Continue

Step 4: Upload Proof of Enrollment

To verify your eligibility, upload a document that proves you’re a student. Recommended options:
Student ID card (best)

Congratulations, you've been approved! 🥳🥳💯

Puddin: AI-Powered Workflow Builder

Tolulope Olugbemi — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 23:01:02 +0000

I wanted to create a tool that makes building real-world automation workflows as simple as describing them in plain English. Most no-code platforms still require users to understand logic, layout, and integrations. What if AI could handle all that complexity and just give you a working solution?

Introducing...

Puddin a visual workflow builder powered by Tambo AI and ReactFlow. Users type a task—like “validate form data and send an email if approved”—and Puddin instantly generates a complete workflow with custom nodes, smart layout, and live demo capabilities.

It’s like having an AI engineer who understands your intent and builds the system for you.

How I Built It

Frontend: Built with React and Tailwind CSS for a sleek, responsive UI.

Workflow Engine: Uses ReactFlow to render dynamic node-based workflows.

AI Integration: Used Tambo for the agentic UI to create and manage workflows, powering workflow creation in natural language

Challenges I Ran Into

Getting the AI to generate meaningful, diverse workflows—not just basic input-output chains.

Preventing node overlap and maintaining layout clarity.

Removing and customizing node visuals.

Accomplishments I'm Proud Of
Seamless integration of TamboAI for intelligent workflow generation.

Real-time demo capabilities for practical use cases.

A clean, futuristic UI with custom styling and smart layout logic.

Building a system that feels like magic—just type what you want, and it builds it.

Draw to find a location anywhere

This is a submission for the Google AI Studio Multimodal Challenge

What I Built

I built a applet that shows the location of a place when a user sketches on the the sketch board, it shows flights to the area, images and places to visit using Gemini 2.5 flash image

Demo

try it here:

How I Used Google AI Studio

I used Google Gemini 2.5 vision model to analyze the drawing of the UI and used Gemini 2.5 flash to convert the sketch into a text that can be searched and processed by Openstreetmap, and also used flash-lite to create a image of the location
