Use Al coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code) to quickly prototype research tools, data pipelines, and experimental workflows without building full systems from scratch. "Vibe coding" is an iterative, conversational approach to developing code with AI, useful for testing ideas, building proof-of-concept tools, and exploring new research methods.
Who should take this: Faculty, PhD students, and research staff who want to prototype research ideas or small research tools. Especially useful for researchers who aren't full-time programmers but want to build working prototypes, research demos, or data workflows.
