Develop the mental model of a builder: scope → build → test → ship → improve

Lloyd is an AI-native entrepreneur who specializes in automating businesses and processes with agentic workflows. His tech career started as "The YouTube Ads Guy," and when the early releases of ChatGPT and other LLMs emerged he saw AI as the most transformative technology of our lifetimes - and set about learning everything he could about it. Nowadays he's happy to check in between classes on the AI agents running his businesses while he shows Varsity Tutors students how they can do the same.
Building a real app used to require months of coding before you could make anything worth showing anyone. That's no longer true — and Vibecoding Essentials is the class that proves it. Using Cursor and Claude Code, two of the most powerful AI development tools available, high school students learn to go from idea to working application without writing code from scratch. You'll learn how to describe what you want, guide AI tools through the build, test and fix what doesn't work, and deploy something you can actually share. This is the class where "I could make an app" stops being a someday thought and becomes something you actually do.
