This course teaches students how to use ChatGPT as an AI coding partner while learning one programming language: JavaScript, Python, or Java. Students explore AI-assisted learning, write basic programs, and build simple projects like a calculator. They use ChatGPT for debugging, errors, and improvements. The course ends with a personal project and showcase to apply skills creatively and confidently.
Course Overview: AI-Assisted Coding with ChatGPT
This course introduces students to the practical use of AI—specifically ChatGPT—as a coding partner while learning foundational programming skills in one chosen language: JavaScript, Java, or Python. Students will explore how AI can simplify learning, problem-solving, debugging, and project development.
Module 1: Introduction to AI & ChatGPT
Interactive Q&A exploring how AI explains programming concepts and generates basic code.
Live demonstration where ChatGPT assists with small code snippets and debugging tasks.
Students experiment with AI to help decide which language they feel confident pursuing.
Module 2: Foundations of the Selected Language
Hands-on, guided practice:
JavaScript: Create a simple webpage that updates text via button interaction.
Python: Build a basic input/output program.
Java: Develop a console-based input/output application. Students commit to a single language for the remaining modules.
Module 3: AI-Assisted Mini Project
Project: Calculator Application
Python (Console), JavaScript (Web), or Java (Console)
Students use ChatGPT to debug, optimize, and enhance their work.
Each learner adds a unique feature, such as a calculation history or UI flair.
Module 4: Interactive Debugging Challenge
Team-based debugging using AI-supported hints and reasoning.
Reflection on how AI improved clarity, logic, and troubleshooting strategies.
Module 5: Final Personal Project & Presentation
Students design and develop a custom project using ChatGPT from planning to refinement. Examples include:
Python guessing game
JavaScript interactive webpage
Java console-based utility
Learners present final outcomes, showcasing how AI contributed to their development process.
