=== WHAT IS SHIP YOUR FIRST APP? ===

🚀 What It Is All About:
"Ship Your First App" is an intensive, beginner-friendly 1-day builder experience hosted by ARC at Legacy Apartments, Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, under official Shipaton IRL. It is designed to bring students, creators, developers, designers, and aspiring founders together in one high-energy room to learn modern product building, form teams, build MVPs, and kick off their builder journey.

⚡ WHAT WE WILL DO ON EVENT DAY (5 SEPTEMBER 2026):

1. Modern App Workflows & AI Builder Stack: Learn how modern software is built using AI tools, no-code/low-code tools, and rapid prototyping workflows.
2. Product Thinking & PRD Basics: Turn raw ideas into structured Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) and define your MVP scope.
3. Pitching & Team Formation: Pitch your idea or join ambitious teammates with complementary skills (developers + designers + creators).
4. Hands-on Build Session & Mentor Guidance: Build your working MVP with 1-on-1 support from experienced local builders and mentors.
5. Live Demo Showcase & Awards: Present your live working app to the room—no slides required, just code that runs—and win swag & awards!

🎯 Who Can Attend? 100% Beginner Friendly! Open to students, aspiring founders, designers, self-taught coders, and anyone with startup ideas or curiosity about AI. You don't need to be an expert to build an app. Space is capped at 65 local builders.
