Event Details

AI can now write working software from a plain-language description — no engineering background required. It's called "vibe coding," and it's quietly changing what a small tech team can build in-house.

In this hour-long virtual session, ATLIS brings together K–12 independent school technology leaders to try it firsthand. You'll watch a real tool get built live, then build your own — something pulled straight from your actual job. By the end, you'll walk away with a working tool and a clear-eyed view of where this fits (and doesn't) in your school's tech strategy.


What We'll Cover

Framing:

  • What "vibe coding" actually means, and why it's becoming a leadership skill

Live Demo:

  • Watch a real tool get built in real time, prompt by prompt

Hands-On Build:

  • Build your own tool from a task on your plate this week

Data Privacy & Governance:

  • We'll discuss the risks associated with vibe coding, and some ways to mitigate that at your school

Share & Wrap-Up:

  • Show what you built, take home resources for your own team

Who Should Attend

Technology directors, technology department staff, and academic or operational leaders at independent K–12 schools — no coding experience necessary. This session is built for a mixed-technical room. Attend as a team if you can!


What You'll Need

A laptop, a free Claude.ai account (no credit card required), and one real task from your job you'd like to hand off to AI.


What You Leave With

  • A working tool you built yourself — pulled from a real task on your desk, not a canned demo

  • A repeatable prompting framework you can teach to your own staff

  • Boardroom-ready ideas — budget calculators, benchmarking charts, and dashboards you can bring to your next leadership meeting

  • A grounded view of the guardrails — data privacy, governance, and where FERPA/COPPA come into play


This is an ATLIS member-exclusive working session.
