The article examines how three elementary teachers implemented a conversational AI‑based curriculum using the ToyTalk platform during a three‑week summer camp. Over 13 instructional days, teachers employed adaptive practices—repair, differentiation, translation, and balancing—to navigate tensions among technology, learners, and instruction. Their understanding of AI and instructional roles evolved throughout the camp, leading to design implications for deploying conversational AI in elementary classrooms.

The study evaluates Vibe Coding, an AI‑led conversational programming paradigm that lets developers generate software via natural‑language interaction with large language models. In a mixed‑methods experiment with 30 participants, Vibe Coding improved development efficiency—reducing task completion time by 27% versus traditional coding and 12% versus AI‑assisted coding—while also yielding a good usability score (SUS = 71.4) and moderate cognitive workload (NASA‑TLX = 55.5). However, the gains came with trade‑offs: lower maintainability indices, higher security vulnerabilities, and themes of trust calibration, loss of control, and prompt‑engineering strategy emerged, leading the authors to propose a three‑pillar framework for responsible adoption.

This paper reports on a seven‑weekend AI storytelling program for Black girls aged 10‑12 that blends Afrofuturism and Black feminist thought with AI‑enabled counter‑storytelling. Participants brainstormed AI topics, crafted characters and plots, and presented collaborative stories, developing core AI literacies such as prompt engineering, bias critique, and data‑privacy awareness. The study found that the girls produced Afrofuturist narratives grounded in their identities and everyday experiences, demonstrating the program’s effectiveness in engaging them in computer science education.
