From Ideas to Apps: Create Apps & Learning Games with Generative AI In-Person

Imagine bringing your ideas for custom apps and learning games to life without ever writing a single line of code. This hands-on workshop introduces you to the world of “vibe coding, “a modern software development technique where your natural language descriptions are transformed into fully functional web applications using generative AI tools.

In this self-paced, hands-on workshop you can choose to learn any of the following skills:

Start to learn the art of iterative prompt engineering for web applications
Effectively collaborate with Large Language Models to debug and refine your ideas & creations
Navigate important considerations regarding AI security, privacy, and ethics
Participating fully in this workshop will help you begin to develop critical, highly transferable digital AI-literacy skills

Vibe coding allows you can shift your focus entirely to creative design and rapid prototyping. Whether you are an educator aiming to build custom learning resources or a student wanting to develop a personal project, this workshop lowers the barriers software creation, giving you the ability to build custom web applications from scratch in a matter of minutes with the help of GenAI. Join us in moving from a consumer of digital technology to an active creator, and walk away with the practical skills and confidence to turn your conceptual visions into reality.
