Welcome! Worldwide Kids Vibe Coding Hackathon (WoKiViCo) is a cross‑border initiative where children aged 9 – 13 from every corner of the planet build, imagine, and create website, apps and games together with vibe-coding AI tools. Our mission is to inspire young talents to use technology playfully to make the world better—regardless of background, language, or location.
Vibe-coding is a new way of making computer programs where you describe what you want in everyday language and an AI writes the code for you. Instead of learning programming jargon, you act like a project director, telling the system things like “I need an app that reminds me to drink water,” and it hands back a working prototype. You then click around to see whether it behaves as expected and ask the AI to fix or tweak anything that feels off. It speeds up early experiments and lets non-coders –kids or adults– turn ideas into software.
Andrej Karpathy popularized the term in February 2025 with a post on X.
Note that the automatically generated code can still contain hidden bugs or security issues, so a human expert should usually review it before it goes in production.
