How can students use AI to build working apps, and how do we teach and assess the thinking behind them?
Build your own application using Lovable, then learn to teach students to create, test and improve their own AI-assisted digital tools.
AI-assisted app building means students can move from an idea to a working application in minutes. The challenge is making sure that becomes worthwhile learning. Teachers need the confidence to decide what is worth building, guide the process, assess student thinking when AI has produced much of the code, and address privacy, safety and the technology's limitations.
Create something useful. Bring the process back to school.
The course is designed for teachers who want to explore AI-assisted app building with students without needing a programming background. Bring a laptop you can use throughout the week. No coding experience is required.
Students might create an interactive guide to local history, a tool for presenting their own science data or an early version of a business idea. The point is not technology for its own sake. It is giving students a reason to define a problem, make decisions, test what they have built and explain their thinking.
It will be especially useful for colleagues planning interdisciplinary projects or looking for a practical way to develop student agency, design judgement and responsible use of AI.
You will build and test applications, receive peer feedback, investigate classroom scenarios and design a practical learning sequence for your students.
You will learn how large language models respond to prompts and context, why they can be useful and why they can be wrong. You will work with project knowledge, assets, files, data and connectors in ways that are practical for a classroom and responsible for a school.
You will work through short, clear inputs, live demonstration, hands-on building, peer critique and protected planning time. You will work in small groups as well as on your own prototype, then rehearse the teaching moves that help students plan, test, explain and improve their work.
Lovable began in Stockholm, and this is a useful place to explore how an idea becomes a practical digital tool.

Registering interest is free. A course run is confirmed once at least six participants have registered their interest. Until then, neither a place nor a course run is guaranteed. Booking terms →
Run the course with your own staff, on your own dates.
Day 1
Build a small application in Lovable, then trace the decisions behind it: what the prompt asked for, what the tool supplied and where human judgement was still needed. Develop a practical understanding of how a large language model uses patterns and context to generate a response, and why that response still needs checking.
Day 2
Turn an initial idea into a clearer brief. Decide what an app should help someone do, give the project useful context and work with assets that support the user experience. Test and improve both the interface and the underlying logic.
Day 3
Develop an application around a real interdisciplinary question. Explore the information it needs, how files and data might be used, and what changes when an app connects to another service. Consider permissions, privacy and the limitations that must remain visible.
Day 4
Plan how students can define a problem, prompt, test, explain and revise their work. Consider what evidence makes their thinking visible, how to assess the process as well as the product, and where clear boundaries for AI use are needed.
Day 5
Turn your prototype into a teachable project, receive peer critique and set out a realistic first version to try with students. Leave with a practical sequence, an assessment approach and the next steps for your own context.

What you’ll leave with
Bring your students' ideas to life through AI-assisted app building.
Pairs well with
Practical AI fluency and the professional judgement to decide where AI belongs in teaching and learning.
Help children become curious, questioning and increasingly thoughtful about the AI already around them.
Help students move from simply using AI to questioning how it works, what it produces and what using it does to their learning.
