tonight: AI coding tools demo, joint with the MadAI meetup

[Erik Paulson]

Hello all -

Just a reminder tonight at 6pm, we're hosting a joint meetup with MadAI to demo using AI coding tools to build a civic app. We've got three presenters, one using Cursor, one using Claude Code, and one using Google Antigravity, and they're all going to build a blog post aggregator site for Madison City Council members, to bring all of those posts into one feed.

It should be a fun event! It'll be interactive so you can ask questions and share experiences.

We'll be in the Madison College Truax Main Building, at 1701 Wright Street. We'll be in the conference hall, which is near the cafeteria. The room number is D1630, breakout rooms B and C, and is labeled as '21' on this map: https://madisoncollege.edu/files/media-document/2023-12/truax-first-floor.pdf

We recommend parking in the visitor lot, which can be accessed via Hoffman Street. The access code to the visitor lot will be #0146. If the lot is full, you can use the surrounding student stalls. There is also metered parking at the Anderson St entrance, near the meeting room. The Truax Building is also on the Bus Rapid Transit line, if you want to skip the driving and parking.
