Vibe Coding – Harvard Course

Harvard University's Graduate School of Education will offer a six-session module titled "Vibe Coding" (EDU T564A) starting Thursday, October 22, 2026, teaching students to create software through AI collaboration without requiring prior coding experience. The course, worth 2 credits, focuses on using generative AI as a creative partner to build web apps, games, and interactive art, with no prerequisites and no cross-registration or auditors permitted.

We find ourselves amidst a fundamental shift in who can code and how code gets created, as generative AI challenges longstanding barriers to programming. In this six-session module, we'll explore this shift through "vibe coding": an intuitive, tinkering approach where imagination becomes software through AI collaboration. Rather than learning syntax and algorithms, we'll explore how to design with AI as a creative partner. One of the best ways to understand AI is to play with it. As such, each week, our learning community will investigate the opportunities and limitations of AI by trying new tools, creating digital artifacts like web apps, games, and interactive art through hands-on exercises, reading critical texts, and reflecting on our creative processes. Through supportive peer collaboration and guided exploration, you'll develop practical skills in prompting, critiquing, and iterating with AI while creating a portfolio of digital projects. No prerequisites; no prior experience with AI or coding required. Cross-registrants and auditors are not permitted. Students must attend the first class on Thursday, October 22, 2026 to participate in this module.
