Agentic Coding for Students and Trainees

Learning to code with agents around is different. This workshop shows students and trainees how to use coding agents as a tutor and a tool without skipping the fundamentals, so that you build skills employers still need: reading, testing and understanding code. The day is hands-on and designed to build understanding, not just output.

  • Students of computer science and related fields
  • Trainees in IT professions (Azubis)
  • Career starters preparing for their first job

What your team will be able to do

  • Use an agent as a learning aid instead of a shortcut
  • Read and explain code you did not write
  • Write tests that prove an agent's solution works
  • Debug systematically with the agent as a sparring partner
  • Document your own learning and AI use transparently

Agenda

  1. Learning with agentsHow to ask for explanations rather than answers, and why fundamentals still matter.
  2. Reading unfamiliar codeFollow code step by step, use the agent to explain it and verify the explanation yourself.
  3. Tests as proofWrite tests first or alongside and use them to judge generated solutions.
  4. Debugging togetherA method for narrowing down errors while staying in charge of the reasoning.
  5. A small projectBuild a project end to end with version control and a short write-up.
  6. Honest AI useRules of good academic and workplace practice around disclosing AI help.

Frequently asked questions

Is using agents considered cheating?

That depends on your school, university or employer. We cover how to check the rules and disclose AI use honestly.

Will I still learn to program?

Yes. The workshop is designed to strengthen understanding, with tasks where you must explain and test code yourself.

Do we need to buy tools?

We use tools that offer access suitable for the session and will clarify the setup beforehand.
