Imagine creating your own classroom apps and tools without touching a single line of code and actually having fun doing it. With vibe coding, all you need is an idea and the right words. In this online workshop, Tony Vincent shows how free AI tools like Gemini, Canva, Claude, and ChatGPT can turn your prompts into working, web-based apps.

Think custom games, timers, brain breaks, randomizers, and other small but mighty tools. Everything is built from your descriptions and designed for real classroom use. You’ll see inspiring examples, learn practical prompting techniques, and follow clear workflows that turn ideas into interactive tools you and your students can use right away. By the end of four weeks, you’ll have the confidence and skills to invent digital experiences that match your teaching style and classroom needs.

Vibe-coded apps can be as simple as a countdown or more involved, like a classroom game show that brings a little buzz to the room. Because apps created with free AI chatbots do have limitations, projects in this workshop are intentionally small, focused, and single-purpose. That makes them perfect for learning, iterating, and actually using.

How the Workshop Works

• A new instructional video is posted each Wednesday in Google Classroom

• Each video includes an optional assignment

• Assignments can be shared in Google Classroom for feedback

• Tony provides feedback on every shared assignment

• Classmates are encouraged to comment and exchange ideas

This flexible, supportive format has worked well for hundreds of educators who have taken Tony’s online workshops since 2017 and keeps the learning human, creative, and low pressure.

What You’ll Learn

In Classy Vibing with AI, you’ll learn how to:

• Decide when vibe coding makes sense and when another tool is a better choice

• Use free AI tools to generate and refine code

• Collaborate with AI before writing any code

• Make apps visually clear, friendly, and usable

• Use a Product Requirements Document to define an app’s flow and feel

• Apply the Engineering Design Process to app development

• Use divergent thinking to spark better ideas

• Think about user experience and basic game mechanics

• Use helpful terminology that gives AI clear context

• Build in accessibility and accommodations

• Work around common limitations and issues

• Test, debug, and iterate efficiently

• Publish and share apps in multiple ways

Just as importantly, you’ll learn from your classmates. Expect idea-swapping, lightbulb moments, and plenty of “ohhh, I could use that!” reactions. The Google Classroom becomes a space for sharing ideas, seeing different approaches, and learning from one another’s creativity.

Is This Workshop for You?

Classy Vibing with AI is designed for educators at any grade level.

• No prior experience with AI or coding is required

• Tony starts at the beginning and builds skills thoughtfully week by week

Who This Is Not For

This workshop may not be a good fit if you are looking for:

• Traditional programming instruction or deep computer science concepts

• Advanced app development with databases, user accounts, or complex back-end systems

• Mobile app development for app stores

• Step-by-step recipes that produce identical results for everyone

• Tools that fully automate teaching or replace student thinking

Classy Vibing with AI focuses on small, practical, teacher-made tools and thoughtful use of AI as a creative partner.

No Subscriptions Required

Everything in this workshop can be completed using free tools.
