Students collaborate and learn in modern educational settings with tech tools

AI Prompt Engineering, Vibe Code Workshop for Singapore Schools

Mind Theory runs AI prompt engineering and vibe coding workshops for Singapore secondary schools. Sessions teach students how to direct modern AI tools like Claude, Cursor AI, VS Code, and ChatGPT Codex to build working apps and games. The standard format is 2 x 2-hour sessions, customised to your school’s timetable and learning objectives.

Established March 2023, Mind Theory is Singapore’s pioneering AI and creative-tech education provider, running programmes in primary schools, secondary schools, and for adult professionals. Read about us.

What Is AI Prompt Engineering?

Teaching Students to Think, Write, and Create With Artificial Intelligence

In the age of AI, the ability to ask the right questions is as valuable as finding the right answers. That is why Singapore schools are introducing students to AI prompt engineering and vibe coding – the skill of crafting precise instructions that direct modern AI tools to build, design, and reason at a level that used to require years of programming experience.

At the heart of this programme is our AI Vibe Coding and Prompt Engineering Workshop for Secondary School Students in Singapore – a 2 x 2-hour workshop designed to equip young learners with the skills they need to work alongside AI, not around it.

Students use industry-grade tools directly: Claude Code, Cursor AI, VS Code, and OpenAI ChatGPT Codex. The workshop fits into MOE digital literacy and 21st-century competency goals.

Who This Workshop Is For

We work with a range of school stakeholders:

HODs of ICT, Computing, or Digital Literacy building AI modules into the curriculum
English and Humanities teachers using prompt engineering for writing, research, and analysis
CCA and Infocomm Club coordinators looking for a strong enrichment programme
IP and Character Education teams integrating AI fluency into project work
School leadership preparing students for a future where AI literacy is a core skill

How the Workshop Runs

Our default format is 2 x 2-hour sessions, delivered on consecutive weeks. We also offer:

Full-day intensive (4 hours with a break) for activity weeks
4 x 1-hour after-school modules for CCA and club settings
Customised curriculum blocks tailored to IP week, CCE project arcs, or exam-period enrichment
Teacher training workshops if your staff wants to deliver prompt engineering independently

All AI tools used during the workshop are free trials. Schools only need student laptops or a computer lab.

What Students Actually Build

This is not a theoretical workshop. Every student walks out with working apps or games they built by directing AI. Past student projects are live and playable:

Typing Trainer – a practice tool built through AI-assisted coding
Drawing Pad – a simple creative canvas app
Snake Game – the classic arcade game rebuilt with AI help
Longest Snake – Slither type of game\
Dash – Geometry Dash-ispired
Sniper – 3D Sniper Game

These are all projects students have built in our workshops. Your students will produce similar projects, scoped to the time available.

Curriculum by Session

Session 1 – Prompt Engineering Foundations

How modern AI models work in plain English. The anatomy of a good prompt. IDE vs Terminal CLI. How to iterate when an AI response misses the mark. Students run their prompts on a coding terminal in either Antigravity or Gemini CLI (or Claude, Cursor, VS Code and Codex). Learn about Ask, Plan, Agent mode.

Session 2 – Vibe Coding a Working App

Students pick a project and build it through AI-assisted coding. They learn how to describe what they want, how to read AI-generated code, and how to fix things when they break. Every student leaves with a shareable project link and a zip file to continue at home.

Why Schools Choose Mind Theory

Industry-grade tools, taught in plain language. Students use the same AI tools working developers use – Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT Codex – not simplified drag-and-drop substitutes.
Project-based outcomes. Every student walks out with a working app or game they directed AI to build.
Curriculum-ready. We align the workshop with English, ICT, CCE, IP, and 21st-century competency frameworks.
Flexible scheduling. We fit your timetable across IP weeks, CCA terms, after-school slots, or activity days.
Singapore-based, MOE-aware. We understand school procurement and vendor requirements.
Proven delivery across multiple Singapore secondary schools (see case studies below).

Past School Partners and Case Studies

Mind Theory has delivered AI and creative-tech workshops across several Singapore secondary schools. Each case study below shows the format, curriculum, and student outputs from a real engagement:

Ngee Ann Secondary School – ChatGPT StoryBuilder AI Workshop
Cedar Girls Secondary School – AI Art Workshop
Hillgrove Secondary School – AI Art Workshop
Pei Hwa Secondary School – CapCut Editing Workshop

What Students Will Learn

By the end of the workshop, students will:

Understand how modern AI models interpret prompts and why structure matters
Write clear, specific prompts that produce useful results the first time
Use AI as a coding partner to build working apps and games
Read and debug AI-generated code with confidence
Apply these skills directly to schoolwork -projects, code, research
Transfer the prompt engineering mental model to any future AI tool they encounter

Reviews & Feedback

“During my camp, the teacher asked me what game do you want to Vibe Code in Antigravity. I answered, ‘ I want to make a 3D sniper game.’ The teacher was stunned and said, ‘ well thats a first!” He mentioned previous students usually do simple 2d games such as snake or space invaders but i would like to try to see whether the browser can be used to make a 3d environment game like Roblox or shooting kinds. I managed to get a working prototype and I continue to work on it at home.

It makes me feel like I have a superpower now with AI Coding Tools.” – Jay, Sec 2, Victoria

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AI Prompt Engineering Workshop for schools?

Students learn how to direct modern AI tools such as IDE or Terminal CLI to build working apps and games through prompt engineering and vibe coding. Suitable for ICT, English, CCE, and CCA programmes.

Is this workshop suitable for students with no coding background?

Yes. Vibe coding is designed to remove the traditional coding barrier. Students describe what they want in plain English, the AI proposes the code, and students refine through iteration. Prior coding experience is helpful but not required. Students with some coding background will still find new techniques to push further.

Which AI tools will students use during the workshop?

The tools used will be either Google Antigravity, Claude Code, Cursor AI, VS Code, or Codex. Students will use the free trial versions provided by the various cloud AI companies.

How long is the standard workshop format?

Our default format is 2 x 2-hour sessions delivered on consecutive days or split across a week. We also offer a full-day 4-hour intensive, 4 x 1-hour after-school modules, and customised blocks tailored to your IP, CCE, or CCA programme.

Can the workshop be scheduled around our school timetable?

Yes. We schedule around your school calendar - during curriculum hours, after school, IP weeks, post-exam periods, or CCA terms. Reach out with your preferred dates and we will confirm availability within 48 hours.

What will students build by the end of the workshop?

Each student walks out with a working app or game they directed AI to build, along with a shareable link. Past student projects include a typing trainer, a drawing app, a Snake game rebuild, and a sticky-note productivity tool - all live and playable at type.mindtheory.sg, draw.mindtheory.sg, snake.mindtheory.sg, and stickydo.mindtheory.sg.

What does our school need to provide?

A computer lab with a USB C or HDMI, student access to laptops and mouse. (Windows or Mac, IT with cloud AI domains unblocked)

Is this workshop aligned with MOE digital literacy goals?

Yes. The workshop supports MOE priorities around 21st-century competencies, digital literacy, and AI readiness. It complements English, ICT, CCE, and IP curricula, and we can map specific learning outcomes to your school's frameworks on request.

Can you customise the content for our IP, CCE, or ICT curriculum?

Yes. We adapt brief, project themes, and deliverables to your learning objectives. Common customisations include research-assistant projects for Humanities, story-game builds for CCE, debugging exercises for ICT streams, and writing-partner prompts for English departments.
