Vibe Coding Research to product - Turn Your Research into a Digital Solution

A vibe coding event by Helsinki Education Hub.
You study how people learn, grow, and develop. You have ideas for digital tools that could make a real difference in education. But building them usually means finding a developer, a budget, and months of time.
Not anymore.
Welcome to a hands-on event where researchers and EdTech innovators turn their ideas into real digital solutions in just 3 hours. No coding experience needed.
What is vibe coding?

You describe what you want to build in plain language and AI builds it for you. You will learn to build with Lovable. If you can write an email, you can vibe code. In one afternoon, you can go from a research question to a working prototype, a research tool, a presentation, or a website.
Who is this for?
🎓 Researchers at the Faculty of Educational Sciences

• Turn a research finding into an interactive learning tool
• Prototype an assessment method or learning intervention
• Test an idea without waiting for a developer
• Create a demo for conferences or grant applications
• Build something that supports your research — a questionnaire, analysis tool, or anything you need
💡 EdTech innovators with educational technology ideas

• Validate your idea with a real prototype, not a slide deck
• Get feedback from learning science researchers on the spot
• Connect with Helsinki Education Hub's incubator program
• First step toward something bigger: a startup, a grant, or a collaboration
What to expect:

• Live intro and demo of vibe coding
• Guided idea shaping workshop
• 1-hour build sprint with mentors
• Snacks and networking
• 2-minute showcase demos
• Info on HEH incubator, EdTech Testbed, and next steps
No coding. No technical background. Just your laptop and an idea.
