Cursor Singapore: Build Night
Designed for Sherry Jiang, Brian Chew & Agrim Singh to spark real collaboration and high-energy learning.
Singapore Startup Rescue
Give every team a broken startup codebase with broken authentication, incomplete onboarding flow, and failing unit tests. They have 15 minutes and Cursor to fix as many tests as possible. Halfway through, call a twist: teams must swap laptops and continue debugging their peer's repo using prompt-only commands. The team with the most passing tests and the best prompt patterns gets prizes and bragging rights.

Why this works
Stories and time pressure make the challenge memorable while the laptop swap creates hilarious, high-stakes collaboration. Everyone experiences the terror and delight of rapid onboarding and rescue.
Cursor Refactor Speedrun
Hand out a gnarly, real-world React component full of anti-patterns, duplicated logic, and mysterious bug comments. Everyone gets 5 minutes to manually refactor as much as possible. Then, each group gets one Cursor prompt to attempt the same refactor. End with a live poll comparing code clarity, safety, or maintainability between manual and Cursor-aided versions.

Why this works
Side-by-side comparison makes Cursor’s strengths (and limits) instantly obvious, and discussing real code helps everyone level up.
Cursor Mythbusters Live
Ask attendees for hot takes or myths about Cursor at sign-in (e.g., 'Cursor can’t handle monorepos,' 'It always breaks with TypeScript imports'). Read one myth aloud, have everyone predict the outcome, then run a live test in Cursor. Reveal what actually happens—anyone who predicted correctly gets a 'mythbuster' sticker.

Why this works
Committing to a public prediction makes everyone pay close attention, and the host gets to bust myths or spark debate with live evidence.
