Meet the 13-year-old and his teen sister vibe coding and competing in Cursor's 24-hour hackathon

A 13-year-old and his 18-year-old sister learned “vibe coding” — prompting AI to generate software — and competed in a 24-hour hackathon in Singapore alongside adult tech professionals. Together with their father, they built functional AI-powered apps, including a sports-coach and a university guidance counselor, illustrating how AI tools are lowering barriers to entry for young and novice builders.
