Exploring Vibe Coding: Possibilities for Education
September – October 2026
Vibe coding is changing how people create software by allowing them to build applications through natural-language conversations with AI. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how vibe coding works, consider its potential and challenges in teaching and learning, and examine how it may change the skills we need to develop. We’ll also experiment with tools such as Claude, Replit, and Lovable to create a simple interactive learning tool and experience the process of building with AI firsthand. How It Works: This presentation is available on demand as a field trip experience at Studio B Discovery Lab. Faculty of Education instructors can book a session and bring their students for an engaging, hands-on learning opportunity. Faculty of Education instructors, faculty, and staff are also welcome to book a visit to experience the presentation individually or with a group. Please fill out our booking request form and select “Featured Exhibition” to book.
