Three-day workshops and hackathons in Brooklyn for people who'd rather build something than scroll past it. First cohort starts September 2026.
Can you AI-proof yourself? Honestly, nobody can promise that. But soft skills don't expire.
Critical thinking, problem solving, telling a clear story. These were what people got hired for thirty years ago, and they're still what gets you hired now. Probably more so.
Slingshot workshops give you a place to flex those, while you pick up the new technical skills along the way.
Day sprints. About forty people in the room. By Sunday afternoon, you'll have shipped something real.
You're in the room, with the other people, doing the work. Phones away when it counts. Snacks when you need them.
Nobody learns this stuff alone. The hard concepts tend to land easier when you're talking them through with the person next to you.
We skip the lectures. You learn by making the thing, then take what you made home with you.
No staged photos. No lecture halls. People with their hands on actual keyboards, working through actual problems, in a room with the smell of actual coffee.
First cohort runs September 2026 in Brooklyn. Forty seats, three days. Add yourself to the waitlist and we'll email you the moment registration opens.

Curriculum still under wraps. Add yourself to the waitlist and we'll share the details the moment they're public.
We also work directly with small businesses and nonprofits when they need a senior set of hands. Same rigor as the workshops, applied to your operation.
We help you figure out where AI agents would actually save your team time, then build the ones worth building.
Getting the pipeline moving. Clarifying what you sell, who buys it, and why they keep coming back.
Senior marketing help on the hours you actually need it. No agency overhead, no junior account managers.
Talking to your customers. Watching how they actually use your product. Bringing back what we hear.
Slingshot's founder, Petra E. Lewis, spent the better part of her career leading business development and strategic communications at places where the stakes (and the egos) ran high.
These days she's more interested in the founders just starting out, especially the ones building tech-for-good. Slingshot is what came out of that.
The programming fits most people, and most budgets. We pay extra attention to folks who are out of school and out of work (OSOW), Gen Z and Alpha, and older workers looking to reskill and pivot careers.
