What Is Vibe Coding?
How AI changed software — and why it matters for your classroom
Describe what you want. AI builds it. No coding required.
Have you ever wished you could build exactly the digital tool you need... in 5 minutes?
- A seating chart randomizer
- A classroom countdown timer
- A random student name picker
- An interactive flashcard game
- A team point tracker
- A quick practice quiz
What we just described is called "vibe coding"
Vibe Coding
Using AI to build small, useful tools by describing what you want — no hi-tech or coding skills required.
You describe the vibe of the tool. AI builds it.
What Would You Build?
Pick the tool that would help your classroom the most.
Great choice. Scroll down to continue.
Students Can Build Too
Teach them to build their own learning tools. Here's what that looks like by grade level.
- Interactive flashcard games
- Vocabulary picture matchers
- Math fact practice timers
- Study guide generators
- Self-quiz builders
- Interactive timelines
- Personalized practice sets
- Research organization tools
- Portfolio project builders
The meta-skill: Students learn to articulate what they need, evaluate what they get, and iterate toward a solution. That's problem-solving for the AI age.
This Is a Transferable Skill
What students learn here applies far beyond school.
Identify problems worth solving. Know what you want before asking.
Describe solutions clearly. Communicate intent to AI collaborators.
Evaluate output, give feedback, iterate. First drafts are starting points.
Understand AI limits. Verify output. Apply human judgment.
This Is Just the Beginning
Today's tools are powerful. Tomorrow's will be transformative.
You're learning the fundamentals: describing what you want, iterating on output, and testing your creations. These skills transfer directly to more powerful future tools.
This entire workshop was built by vibe coding. Every slide, animation, and interactive element you're seeing right now was created through AI collaboration — proof that the technique scales far beyond simple tools.
By late 2026 or 2027, advanced AI building tools will become accessible to non-technical users. Full applications, database connections, complex workflows — all buildable through natural conversation. The skills you're developing now will unlock those tools when they arrive.
