Coding with AI for Beginners (Age 9-14)




« back to classes page
In this hands-on class, students build their own original games using Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a creative coding partner. Using natural-language prompts, students design game mechanics, experiment with ideas, and see how their instructions turn into real code. They’ll practice refining prompts, testing gameplay, and editing AI-generated code through “vibe coding”, what many tech leaders are now calling one of the most critical skills for students to learn. The class emphasizes creative problem-solving, responsible AI use, and confidence as a maker, not just a user of technology. No prior experience needed.
