Vibe Coding: From Thought to Creation | Justin Zhu | TEDxYCYW Shanghai Youth

How long does it take to build an app? Justin explores how AI-assisted tools are collapsing the distance between idea and execution, allowing creators to move from concept to working system in minutes. Drawing on his own journey in robotics and coding, he explains why the real skill is no longer just writing code, but thinking clearly, designing systems and knowing what is worth building. As the barriers to creation fall, Justin challenges us to rethink innovation itself. If anyone can build, what will you choose to create? Born in Los Angeles and raised in Shanghai, Justin Zhu is a Year 10 innovator who has grown up in Shanghai. Passionate about robotics, mechatronics, and coding, he loves transforming bold ideas into working machines. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
