Setup & AI Coding

Objective: Students will install all necessary tools, configure their environment, and learn AI coding basics to be ready to build a website from lesson 2 onward.


Build Websites Fast with AI - Everyone Can Do It

AI is changing the way the world builds websites and apps. You don't need to be a programmer — just describe what you want, and AI can turn it into a working website in hours.

What AI does

  • Figures out exactly what pages and features your website needs
  • Writes all the words and builds every page for you
  • Makes sure buttons, sign-ups, and purchases actually work
  • Reviews everything and walks you through going live

Why it matters

  • Faster: days instead of weeks
  • Cheaper: less repetitive work
  • Anyone can create: just give instructions in plain language

Real-world proof: Google now uses AI to write 25% of its new code, helping engineers build products faster.
