Prompt, Play, Prototype: Vibe Coding for Creative Classrooms

What if every educator could turn an idea into an interactive learning experience without years of programming experience? Vibe coding uses natural-language prompts and AI to make coding more accessible, letting educators and students build games, simulations and classroom tools through experimentation and iteration. In this hands-on Mobile Mega Share, you will move from prompt to working prototype while exploring a practical framework for AI-assisted coding in K-12 classrooms. Learn how to write effective prompts, evaluate and improve AI-generated code, and build responsible AI practices into the creative process. Discover how vibe coding supports computational thinking, design thinking and subject-area learning beyond computer science, with strategies that engage beginners, girls and students traditionally underrepresented in technology. No programming experience or software installation is required. You will leave with a classroom-ready prototype, adaptable lesson ideas for CS, STEM, humanities and more, and a repeatable prompt-to-prototype process that helps students become thoughtful creators with AI, not just consumers of it.
