Redefining Programming Education Beyond STEM

About this book

AI-powered coding tools are revolutionizing software development, transforming programming from a specialized skill into an accessible educational practice across disciplines. This book investigates how tools such as Cursor AI, GitHub Copilot, and Replit's Ghostwriter are dismantling traditional barriers to entry for learners—particularly those from non-STEM backgrounds—by enabling natural language code generation, intelligent debugging, and interactive, project-based learning. Bridging the gap between theoretical instruction and practical application, the book serves as both a guide and a critical framework for integrating generative AI into curricula. It highlights how these tools expand the boundaries of programming education by supporting interdisciplinary applications, from literary analysis to creative writing, thereby making coding relevant and actionable for students in the humanities and beyond. The book equips educators with the tools and strategies necessary to incorporate AI-assisted programming into diverse academic contexts by offering lesson plans and adaptable project models. This resource is essential for instructors seeking to demystify coding, promote inclusivity in technical learning, and reimagine the role of software literacy in the twenty-first-century classroom.
