AI Vibe Coding in Practice for the Slash Generation

Overview

Ready-made platforms have many functional limitations and may not fit your business needs. This course is designed for educators, social workers and slash-career professionals without a technical background. It gives an in-depth introduction to "Vibe Coding" in 2026, turning ideas into clear instructions so that AI easily becomes your own personal engineer, helping to write code and tailor-make web-based application tools. Through hands-on practice, you will bring the ideas in your mind to life step by step and build digital systems that attract traffic, improve efficiency and increase income.

Course Content

Part 1: Welcoming a New Era of AI Collaboration
-Overview of current AI and the strengths and weaknesses of major models
-Vibe Coding: the mindset shift from "coding it yourself" to "AI-collaborative development"
-Breaking down the pain points of slash-career businesses
-Discovering practical AI tools to solve problems

Part 2: Core Principles and Foundations of Vibe Coding
-Understanding core concepts such as "front end, back end, database and API"
-Constructing system prompts for AI Agents
-Using natural language to identify AI problems and guide fixes
-Applying for free cloud hosting and secure deployment

Part 3: Hands-on Practice
-Interaction and traffic-generation tools
-Automated operations tools
-Customer service tools
-Office automation

Part 4: Graduation Project Design
-Practical experience: turning business ideas into reality
-Starting from scratch with ideation, prompting and testing, up to publishing a personal web tool or application

Remarks
-Participants must bring their own computer. The instructor will choose more stable, free or lowest-cost tools for teaching demonstrations based on the latest technologies (such as the latest open-source models or AI agent platforms). Some free services have usage limits; if these are exceeded, participants may need to pay for a subscription themselves.

Instructor

Billy Hau

Former NASA engineer with a strong background in aerospace engineering; holds a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Lehigh University (USA) and a master's degree in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology. During his time at NASA Glenn Research Center, he took part in several cutting-edge R&D projects, including the Lunar Gateway space station, deep-space mining robots and hybrid-electric aircraft, and received the NASA Silver Achievement Medal and the AIAA best paper award for space energy systems. He also holds a patent for a deployment mechanism for small-satellite solar arrays.

Billy is also passionate about promoting STEAM education, has led the NASA Young Innovators outreach programme, has years of experience teaching from primary to secondary school level, and received the "Outstanding Teacher Award" from HKU SPACE (School of Professional and Continuing Education, The University of Hong Kong) in 2025, recognising his teaching strength. From an engineer's hands-on perspective, he guides students through project-based learning to explore mechatronics integration, artificial intelligence, aerospace technology and engineering design, giving classes both professional depth and innovative inspiration.
