- Vibe Coding: Building Software with AI Rather Than Programming?
Discover a new approach to software creation and explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the way applications are designed and developed.

Students will explore:
- How tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code and Cursor can help transform an idea into a functional software product.
- The differences between AI-assisted development and traditional software development.
- The limitations and best practices associated with AI coding tools.

Through lectures, workshops and hands-on activities, students will gain practical insights into current technological developments while experiencing Paris through cultural and business visits.
