Intro to Cursor: AI coding for beginners

Join a beginner-friendly introduction to Cursor for Atlantic Canada builders.

​This is a practical live coding session for founders, students, developers, educators, and startup operators who want hands-on exposure to AI-assisted coding with Cursor.

​We will start with a short Cursor walkthrough, then build a small useful workflow or app live. The goal is to make Cursor feel concrete: how to plan, prompt, edit, debug, and iterate without turning the session into a generic AI talk.

​The session is virtual-first so people from Moncton, Fredericton, Saint John, Halifax, Charlottetown, St. John's, and the broader Atlantic Canada community can join.

​If there is enough interest, the next step will be a smaller hybrid hack night or campus/founder session with a local partner.

​Agenda: 0:00 - Welcome and why this is being tested in Atlantic Canada 0:05 - Cursor basics: what to know before building 0:15 - Live build: create a small AI-assisted workflow or app 0:45 - Practical patterns: prompting, refactoring, debugging, and agent use 0:55 - Q&A 1:05 - Interest poll for follow-up campus, founder, or hybrid hack-night format
