What happens when you mix code, creativity, and a live audience?

That’s exactly what I experienced at Campus Party Brasília — one of the most exciting and fun moments I’ve ever had at an event — my very first Vibe Coding session live on stage! ⚡

The goal was simple: showcase the power of the AWS Q Developer CLI in just 50 minutes.
But what started as a demo quickly turned into a real-time creative marathon with the audience. 😄

We began by building a simple memory game in HTML.
As the audience got more engaged, we kept adding new features — levels, scores, rankings… and by the end, we even had database integration! 🏆

In the final minutes, someone from the audience suggested using the code from a small bubble game he had created to play with his son.
Challenge accepted! 💪

We pulled the project from GitHub, improved it live, and turned it into something much more complete — with levels, colors, sizes, and movement patterns.
In the end, we even created a pull request to contribute the improvements back to the original repository.

👉 For those curious, the PR is still open:

It was amazing to see the audience participating, testing, and truly engaging with the process.
Many people left excited to install the Amazon Q Developer CLI and start building their own projects. 🚀

It was 50 minutes of pure learning, collaboration, and fun — exactly the kind of experience that keeps me believing in the power of in-person events and the magic of seeing technology come to life in real time. ✨

And of course… I’m already looking forward to bringing Vibe Coding back to future editions! 🎮
