The Big Idea

What is Vibe Coding?

You describe what you want in plain language. AI writes the code. You refine until it feels right.

Describe

Tell AI what you want in plain English

Type your idea...

"Make me a quiz game with 5 questions about fractions"

Generate

AI writes working code instantly

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>...</head>
  <body>
    function checkAnswer() {
      if (correct) showConfetti()
    }
</html>

Refine

Adjust by conversation until it vibes right

Add confetti!

Done, updating...

"Make the colors more fun and add confetti when they win"

Traditional Coding

Weeks to learn

Vibe Coding

Minutes to start

"Vibe coding" is likely a temporary term. Soon, this will just be called programming.

The Momentum

This Is Happening Fast

AI-assisted coding went from experiment to industry standard in under two years.

84%

of developers now use AI coding tools

— 2025 Developer Survey (+8% YoY)

55%

faster at completing tasks with AI help

— Harvard/BCG 2024 Study

68%

of workers expect AI skills will be required soon

— 2025 Developer Survey

"The hottest new programming language is English."

— Andrej Karpathy

The Reality

What This Means for Students

The job market is already shifting. Students who graduate without AI fluency will be at a significant disadvantage.

70%

drop in entry-level software job postings

2024-2025

55%

salary drop for entry-level devs in Silicon Valley

$180K → $80K

68%

of developers expect AI skills will be required by employers

2025 Survey

5M

new developers added from India alone in 2025

14% of all new accounts

The bar has been raised. AI fluency isn't a nice-to-have—it's the new baseline for competing in the job market.

Phase 1

If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It. Maybe!

What's something tedious you do over and over? Submit your idea and your facilitator will attempt to build it live.

Your Idea

What's something repetitive that takes too much of your time?

Phase 1

Everyone's Ideas

Here's what everyone submitted. Your facilitator will pick one to build live.

Get Ready

Your Workspace

Canvas

Gemini's creative workspace for writing and coding. Today we'll use it to generate interactive apps.

Thinking Mode

Switch from "Fast" to "Thinking" for complex tasks. Better reasoning = better code.

Phase 2

Your First Build: Educational Mini-Game

Let's build something together. You'll create an AI-powered quiz game for your content area. Follow each step and check them off as you go.

Step 1: Start a New Chat

In Gemini make sure to click "Canvas" from the tools
Open Gemini
Step 2: Set the Scene

Edit this prompt with your subject and grade, then copy it:
I want to create a fun, interactive quiz game for my students. The subject is [YOUR SUBJECT] and the grade level is [YOUR GRADE]. Create a simple HTML page with: - A welcoming title - One question at a time (5 questions total) - Multiple choice answers (4 options) - Immediate feedback when they click an answer - A fun celebration when they finish - Keep it colorful and engaging Make it work as a standalone HTML file I can open in a browser.

Watch how
Step 3: Generate & Review

Hit "Run" and watch Gemini Canvas create your game. It'll generate HTML code.
Step 4: Embed on Google Sites

Click "Preview" in Canvas to test your game. Then use "Embed" to add it to your Google Site—share it with students instantly.
Step 5: Iterate!

Not quite right? Tell Gemini Canvas what to change:

Make the questions harder. Add a timer. Change the colors to match our school (blue and gold). Add sound effects.

That's vibe coding. You didn't write JavaScript. You didn't learn CSS. You just... described what you wanted and adjusted until it vibed right. Welcome to the future.

Phase 3

Now Build Whatever You Want

You have 25 minutes. Build something that would make your life easier, make you laugh, or make you curious. There are no wrong answers.

Open Gemini Canvas & Start Building Open Launchpad App

Unstuck Kit

Start with this template:

I want to build a tool that helps me [YOUR PROBLEM].

It should:
- [FEATURE 1]
- [FEATURE 2]

Make it simple and easy to use. Create it as a standalone HTML file.

If it's not working, try saying:

"Make it simpler"
"Start over with a different approach"
"That's not what I meant. I want [clearer description]"
"Add [specific feature]"
"Remove [thing you don't want]"

Still stuck? Raise your hand and ask for help.
