“Stop writing prompts. Start building the loop that writes them for you.” You’ve probably heard some version of that line by now. In this workshop we’ll actually explain what it means, and build one with you for your React Native app and your use case. This hands-on workshop teaches you to build a harness of focused agents that plan, implement, and verify each other’s work, backed by: Reusable tools, Project memory, Checkpoints. You’ll build it one piece at a time, starting from a single agent and ending with a working pipeline you run against your own app. We use TV as the live target because it’s a genuinely non-trivial adaptation, focus navigation, 10-foot layouts, remote input, many different operating systems, but the target is just the example. As a final layer, we’ll add a context-aware agent powered by Bee. It records the conversations you have about the app you want to build, saved whenever you want and available anytime, then feeds them back into the harness when it runs. You’ll leave with a forkable repo and a clear mental model for building development systems instead of babysitting prompts.

Putting yourself out there, whether that's writing, speaking, posting, or making videos, opens doors in tech: jobs, collaborators, community, and a body of work that speaks for you. But getting started can be hard, and it's harder when you don't see people like you doing it. Led by Annie Sexton and Brittany Ellich, this event is open to everyone, with a focus on supporting women and underrepresented genders in tech. Bring something to write with, a laptop, paper and pencil, or whatever you prefer.

Expo UI provides one-to-one bindings for SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose, making it possible to use modern platform-native primitives directly in your React code. This has many app developers asking how and when they should leverage this in their app. In this workshop, you'll take on practical examples of adopting distinctive Android and iOS UI elements in cross-platform React Native screens, weighing when to make a full conversion vs. when to mix and match. We'll also implement platform-native user experiences that span multiple screens, using form sheet and shared element transition features in Expo Router, as well as cross-cutting concerns like Android's material dynamic colors. Join us to get experience and perspective as to how your apps can use Expo UI and other tools to fully embrace distinct Android and iOS UI elements.

This workshop will get you up and running with animations and interactions in React Native. We'll focus on using Reanimated and Gesture Handler to improve the overall UX of your app and make it stand out. We'll also introduce some of the 3d graphics concepts and will show you how the powerful combo of WebGPU, Three.JS, Reanimated, and Worklets can provide your users with a unique experience.
