Hi all, 

I am dabbling in the idea of having my computer science/makerspace elective build AI agents or automate a systems by vibe coding. I am curious if anyone has done this and what tools/platforms you are using? I know Replit and Loveable do this but they are not really aligned with the EDU space anymore. 

Thank you,
Lauren

Hi Lauren,

Google AI Studio (aistudio.google.com) is pretty decent for this, and will let you export the code behind what you've built (or even send it straight to GitHub).

You might take also a look at MSTY Studio (msty.ai). They offer free licenses for teachers and students for the duration of any course in which you want to use their tools in your curriculum. I'm playing with it now, and could definitely see working it into some future classes.

We just wrapped up several Math projects where students designed calculators using P5 combined with ChatGPT. It was highly successful. (Students were in grades 6 and 7).

For those interested, here is a link to the project description. There are 2 tabs at the bottom. First is a description of the project, and the second contains the rubric and links to the various student iterations.

Vibecoding with students can be very accessible. We just published "The Learner's Apprentice: AI and the Amplification of Human Creativity" by Ken Kahn that explores this concept. From simple apps and games to complex constructions, students can make things that support all subject areas. More about the book here: https://cmkpress.com/product/learners-apprentice/
