learn.
Your turn.
Build the tool your course needs — in one sitting, on a live URL — without writing a line of code. Learn to brief an AI properly along the way, because that's what decides whether what comes back is any good.
- Full course $99 USD — every future part included
- No coding required
- Free domain guide & tools glossary
If you can imagine it, you can build it.
Vibe coding isn't about learning to code. It's about describing what you want clearly enough that an AI can build it for you.
Build exactly what your course needs
Practice exercises, calculators, disclosure forms, flashcard decks — things that fit your course exactly, not approximately.
Gamify your classroom
Interactive challenges, self-assessment quizzes, streaks, and scoring. If you can describe the experience you want, you can build it.
Create what doesn't exist yet
A guided mini-course. An interactive case study. A student reflection portal. Your imagination is the only limit.
Ideas to start from
Whatever you teach, there's a version of this for you.
None of these need a game engine or a development team. Each one is a plain-English description away from a working prototype.
"Dose Check" A dosage-calculation drill where a wrong answer shows the harm it would have caused, before it happens to a real patient.
"Debit or Credit?" A rapid-fire sorter with a running streak, so classification becomes reflex instead of a lookup table.
"Verb Sprint" A verb-conjugation duel against the clock, with instant correction instead of a red pen three days later.
"Spot the hazard" A lab-safety simulation where the unsafe step has to be caught before anyone reaches for the wrong bottle.
A branching negotiation at a historical turning point, where every choice visibly changes what happens next.
A boss-battle style drill where each correct fraction problem lands a hit, and each mistake costs you a turn.
A decision-tree scenario for reporting a workplace incident, with consequences that play out differently by choice.
A simulator where students nudge one variable in an ecosystem and watch the population curves respond in real time.
A timed triage scenario — multiple patients, one responder, and a scoreboard that rewards the right priority order.
Not on the list? If you can describe the moment your students get stuck, you can build a tool for it.
Start today. The course grows with you.
Begin with a simple, working app in under 90 minutes. From there, build the planning, prompting, and architecture skills that make bigger ideas possible — the habits that get Claude, Codex, or ChatGPT to build what you actually pictured.
Describe a tool in plain English. Learn to describe it well enough that AI builds the right thing. Deploy it to a live URL, all in one session. You leave with something real your students can use.
🔨 60–90 min to completePlan your tool with user stories
Most AI-built apps fall short because the brief was too vague. Learn to write user stories — short, structured descriptions of who needs what and why — so that AI builds exactly what you had in mind, not its best guess.
🗺 75–90 min to completeSet up your local coding environment
Open your project in Microsoft's free Visual Studio Code. Use AI tools like Codex or Claude Code to make careful changes to your project files — no more copy-pasting between a chat window and a browser tab.
🛠 90–120 min to completeMap your architecture, then build the real thing
Turn your user stories into a plain-English architecture brief — screens, roles, data, outputs, and how information moves. Then hand the brief to Codex or Claude Code in your own editor and ship the app you actually planned.
🏗 90–120 min to completeHandle APIs, secrets, and environment variables
Learn how apps connect to outside services, why API keys must stay private, and how environment variables keep those keys out of GitHub. Leaking a key by accident is the most common — and most expensive — mistake vibe-coders make.
🔐 100–120 min to completeTest, debug, and update with confidence
Turn user stories into test cases, debug with AI more safely, check deployments, and run small regression checks before pushing changes live for your students.

Designed for educators, not engineers.
You don't need a Computer Science degree. You need a teaching idea and a willingness to try.
New to AI tools
You've used ChatGPT or Claude to draft an email, but never to build anything. That's exactly the right starting point.
Not a programmer
No coding background. No desire to become one. That's not a limitation here. It's the whole point.
Frustrated by off-the-shelf tools
You keep reshaping your teaching to fit tools that weren't built for you. This course flips that.
Accounting and business faculty
Built with your discipline in mind (journal entries, rubrics, case simulations), but useful across any topic.
A builder, not a consumer
You'd rather make the exact thing you need than settle for the thing that's almost right.
Ready to do something
This is a build-along experience. You'll leave with a published, working app, and a much sharper sense of how to ask an AI for what you want. Not a slide deck.
You can build real tools with this approach, just like these.
Each one started as a plain-English description. Each one is live and used by real students.
Brewed Awakening
Students budget for financial controls across a simulated café: control environment, segregation of duties, HR policies, and more. Then the disasters hit. The controls they skipped are exactly the ones that hurt them.
The Typing Dojo
Students build typing speed through Lego-themed, game-based drills, designed for a 9-year-old who wasn't going to learn the boring way. The repetitive parts stay fun enough to keep coming back to.
CtrlAltDefeat
Students face IT threats: encryption failures, access control gaps, phishing exposure. They have to identify the vulnerability and respond before the damage compounds.
No Gorilla
Students score their own charts across five dimensions — message and focus, chart choice, data integrity, cognitive load, and accessibility — before anyone else does.
Questions
Still deciding? Here's what people ask.
Do I need any coding experience? +
No. This course is built for educators, not engineers. If you can describe what you want in plain English, you can build it — Part 1 walks you through publishing your first live app in under 90 minutes.
Will this make me better at using AI in general, or just at this one tool? +
Both, and the general part is the bigger prize. Most of the course is about getting specific — saying who the thing is for, what it has to do, how it should behave, and what 'finished' looks like. That's the difference between an AI handing you something usable and handing you something vaguely close. The habit carries straight over to Claude, Codex, ChatGPT, or whatever you use next, for writing and analysis as much as for building.
What software do I need? +
Just a browser and a couple of free accounts — the course walks you through setting up both. No installs, no local dev environment, nothing to configure ahead of time.
Is Part 1 really free? +
Yes — no account, no credit card. You'll build and publish a real, working app before you decide whether to buy the complete course.
I'm not techy at all — will I actually be able to do this? +
You're exactly who this course is for. No CS degree, no prior coding. If you can describe the tool you want to build, the course shows you how to build it.
What happens when new parts are released? +
You get them automatically, at no extra cost. Buy once, and every part added to the course afterward is already yours — even if the price has gone up by then.
Why does the price go up over time? +
The course keeps growing — new parts get added over time, and each one adds more value. The price today is the lowest it will ever be, so buying now locks you in at $99 USD permanently.
Can I use what I build with my own students? +
Yes. Everything you build is yours to use in your classroom right away, and the course is written with real teaching use cases in mind.
How do I access the course after I buy? +
Sign in with the email you used at checkout, on any device, any time. Your access never expires.
What if it's not for me? +
Email support@alym.com within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full — no questions asked.
Do you offer support if I get stuck? +
Yes. Email support@alym.com any time and you'll hear back from a real person, not a ticket queue.
