Does “Vibe Coding” have a role in programming education?

In this episode we ask whether “vibe coding" has a role in programming education? We hear from a university academic, a secondary school teacher, and a student, who have each investigated using AI tools to support students learning to program.

‘‘Vibe Coding’’ is a new term most associated with how professional programmers might quickly create prototypes using AI tools in a fast and iterative way. But learning to program, particularly for school-aged learners, is very different to developing IT solutions. We will talk to a university academic, a secondary school teacher and a student who have each investigated using AI tools to support students learning to program. We ask what role might Vibe Coding, a software engineering approach, bring to the complicated job of young people learning how to program?
