VibeCode Kids helps children learn the best way to build with AI in 14 focused days. Instead of memorizing syntax first, kids practice the workflow that modern builders use: write a clear prompt, run the result, inspect what changed, fix one issue, improve one detail, and explain the demo. What is included: โข 14 daily missions with objectives, instructions, prompts, and completion criteria โข A local HTML/CSS/JavaScript sandbox for hands-on practice โข Native drag-and-drop code puzzles for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript building blocks โข Progress tracking with XP, levels, streaks, badges, and a completed-work gallery โข Parent setup, parent PIN gates, and a parent dashboard โข Offline-first core content with no ads and no tracking Some missions teach children how to use third-party AI assistants or publishing tools outside the app. Those steps are clearly marked and require parent supervision. The app does not embed third-party AI APIs, ads, or tracking SDKs in this release. Built for ages 8-14 with a parent-aware learning flow.
