Introduction to Vibe Coding

The Introduction to Vibe Coding course introduces students to creating websites using AI. Students first learn the basics of how AI works and how to use it safely before developing their prompting and AI problem-solving skills. Students then explore digital design and complete customizable web development projects. No prior coding experience or external AI tools necessary.

The Introduction to Vibe Coding course is available for CodeHS Pro customers.

VIBE CODE DIRECTLY ON CODEHS

Vibe Coding Activities in the Course

Vibe Coding lets students prompt an AI agent to generate and update code, then keep prompting to refine it and understand it. It lives within the CodeHS course, so there's nothing new to install.

Pro This feature is available on CodeHS Pro

  • Prompt, generate, refine: students describe what they want and keep iterating in plain language.
  • Built into CodeHS: no new accounts, installs, or external AI tools.
  • Read the code it writes: every change is visible and editable, so students stay in control.

Safety features

Designed for the classroom,
with guardrails built in

Vibe Coding gives teachers and administrators control and visibility from day one, so AI supports learning while staying appropriate, transparent, and in your hands.

Built with student privacy in mind

Vibe Coding runs inside CodeHS and is designed to protect student data. Student work and conversations are never sold or sent to any third parties.

Built-in AI moderation

The chat declines requests unrelated to coding, keeping every conversation focused on appropriate, educational use.

Full teacher visibility

My Threads and Student Threads let teachers review every message in any program's Vibe Code chat, filtered by section or student.

You control access

Student Settings let you turn Vibe Coding on or off for an entire section or for individual students, whenever you choose.

Supports learning, not shortcuts

Vibe Coding is built to encourage iteration, feedback, and refinement, engaging students with their code rather than doing the work for them.

Also available on CodeHS Pro

Vibe Coding is also available in the Sandbox

If you don't have time for the full course, students can still explore Vibe Coding directly in the CodeHS Sandbox, prompting, building, and refining their own projects whenever they want.

Why vibe coding

Why vibe coding is important

Vibe coding is quickly becoming a real way professionals write software. Our goal is to make sure students learn to use it thoughtfully, as a tool that strengthens their computer science skills rather than replacing them.

It meets students where the field is going

Working alongside AI is becoming a core part of how software gets built. Learning it now prepares students for the tools they'll actually use.

It enhances understanding

By reading, questioning, and refining AI-generated code, students engage with real CS concepts and build stronger problem-solving skills.

It opens the door for more students

Natural language lowers the barrier to entry, so more students can experience the joy of building, and want to learn what's underneath.

Self-paced by design

Every student moves at the speed that fits them

Vibe Coding is built around iteration. Students experiment, get feedback, and refine as many times as they need, instead of racing to a single right answer.

01

Iterate freely

Try an idea, see it run, and prompt again. Each cycle is fast, low-stakes, and entirely student-driven.

02

Learn by doing

Explanations are available on demand, so students can dig deeper exactly when they're curious, not on a fixed schedule.

03

From idea to working program

A vague idea becomes something real and runnable in minutes, keeping motivation high and momentum going.
