Leadership Development
AI Tool: Vibe Coding (4-part series)
January and February 2026
BrightWorks invites you to a 4-part series on Vibe Coding, an AI tool that will help you with efficiency and effectiveness. We are offering this training experience in partnership with Quantum Bridge Solutions (QBS). As leaders, we want to have real-life educational efficiency and effectiveness that QBS can deliver when teaching vibe coding to administrators. This will also be an opportunity to work with school leaders across the metro.
Vibe coding is an AI-assisted software approach in which the training will teach "natural language prompts” to generate code using the Google’s AI Studio. QBS will teach the why, the how and the “what of” to meet the enhancement needs above.
The four workshops will be conducted virtually from 3:00-4:30 pm every other Wednesday on these dates: January 7, 21, February 4, and 11, 2026. It is our hope that we can also construct future professional development to meet the needs of district leaders.
The workshops will be virtual; however, if there is a demand to meet in person, we will accommodate hybrid and in-person.
We will have an informational session that will preview and demonstrate how AI brings efficiency and effectiveness of taking a real-life school leader problem from a metro school district using vibe coding. The informational meeting will be virtual on December 15, 2025, from 1:00-2:30 pm. You are not required to attend the informational meeting to attend the 4-part series.
