What is Sip & Code?
Sip & Code is VibeCode Africa’s relaxed, community-powered AI building experience where beginners, experienced builders, mentors, founders, professionals, and creatives come together to learn, build, teach, collaborate, and connect.

Forget sitting through hours of presentations.
Bring your laptop, grab a coffee, meet someone new, and build.
You’ll have access to mentors and peers who can help you brainstorm ideas, solve problems, explore AI tools, and turn an idea into something tangible.
