BWCM VIBE CODE LAB

A high school AI-powered development education program where students learn to BUILD applications AND GOVERN AI. Four semesters. Six-week summer intensive. Four-level certification. One credential no other high school program offers: FORTELLION Governance Certified.

The Vision

Every coding bootcamp teaches students to build apps. Every AI course teaches students to use AI tools. Vibe Code Lab teaches something no other high school program does: how to GOVERN AI.

Students don't just learn to code. They learn to build applications using AI-powered development on the Base44 platform, AND they learn the governance principles that make AI trustworthy. Explainability. Verification. Safety. Accountability. Escalation.

This isn't a computer class. It's a governance education disguised as a coding program.
