AI-Assisted Coding Lab: Build Smarter with ChatGPT
This innovative program empowers students to harness the power of AI—specifically ChatGPT—as a collaborative coding partner while developing real-world applications. Participants will choose one programming language—JavaScript, Java, or Python—and focus on either frontend or backend development based on their selection. Through guided modules, hands-on challenges, and AI-supported learning, students will gain deep coding expertise and problem-solving skills.
Program Modules
1. AI & ChatGPT as a Coding Assistant
Students will explore how ChatGPT can function as an intelligent coding partner for debugging, feedback, and learning.
Demonstration of AI-assisted development in Java, Python, and JavaScript
Live code review sessions where students use ChatGPT to refine and debug their code
2. Mastering Language Fundamentals
Each student dives into core concepts of their chosen language through interactive lessons and tasks.
Python (Backend): Learn object-oriented programming by building a text-based quiz app
Java (Backend): Build foundational skills through projects like a student grade management system
JavaScript (Frontend): Create interactive web apps using buttons, forms, and dynamic content
Students complete targeted challenges (e.g., loops, functions, classes) with ChatGPT’s support
3. AI-Assisted Project Development
Apply language skills and AI collaboration to build creative, functional applications.
Project 1: Develop a quiz app with ChatGPT helping generate content and validate logic
Project 2:
Java: Command-line or web-based student management system
JavaScript: Interactive to-do list web app
Python: Console-based diet tracker
Students enhance their projects with custom features like progress tracking or improved UI
4. Debugging & Performance Tuning with ChatGPT
Tackle real coding issues and learn to optimize your code for efficiency and clarity.
Fix bugs in live challenges using ChatGPT’s hints and guidance
Collaborate with teams to improve code performance, speed, or usability based on language-specific best practices
5. Student-Led Capstone Project
Students conceptualize, plan, and build a unique final project using ChatGPT for brainstorming, guidance, and troubleshooting.
Sample projects:
Python: AI-powered tutor chatbot
Java: Secure voting or student management system
JavaScript: Interactive portfolio or live weather dashboard
Additional ideas include diet recommendation tools, quiz games, or academic progress trackers
Program Focus:
Language Specialization: Students choose JavaScript, Java, or Python
Deep project-based learning with AI integration
Real-world problem solving and creativity through code
By the end of the program, students will not only be proficient in their chosen language but also confident in using AI tools like ChatGPT to assist in development, debug errors, and bring their ideas to life.
