Course Description:
Vibe Coding is a high-energy, creativity-driven coding program designed to make programming approachable, engaging, and fun for all learners. Whether building games, designing interactive websites, or creating digital art, students will learn coding by doing — working on hands-on projects that connect to their personal interests. The course blends problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork, helping students develop not only coding skills but also the confidence to apply them in school, careers, and everyday life. By the end, each student will have a portfolio-worthy project that reflects their unique “vibe.”
