Tools & Labs

I build things. Some are products, some are experiments, some are both. Each one started because I needed it in my own classroom or someone else's. They all live at their own homes. This is the directory.

Vibe Coding for Educators

Course · Faculty

A self-paced course that teaches educators to build their own teaching tools with AI, no coding background required. Part 1 is free and gets a first app published in one sitting; later parts add user stories, a local setup, APIs and security, and testing and deployment.

VibeLab

Free course · Students

Idea to internet for first-time builders. Across seven free missions, students plan an idea, prototype it in Google AI Studio, save it to GitHub and publish it on Vercel, then keep building in VS Code with an AI coding agent like Claude Code or Codex. No experience required.

Excel for Accounting Students

Free tutorial · Students

Accounting runs on Excel. Twenty-eight short units teach one function at a time on realistic ledger extracts, starting with SUM and working up to SUMIFS, XLOOKUP, INDEX and MATCH, and ageing a ledger by date. The 64 challenges at the end never name the function, so you have to work out which one the question needs. Free, in the browser, no sign-up.
