Google and Kaggle Launch Free AI Agents Vibe Coding Course — Registration Now Open

June 1, 2026 — Google and Kaggle have opened registration for the second edition of their free AI Agents Intensive course, running June 15-19, 2026. The updated curriculum introduces vibe coding — building AI agents using natural language as the primary programming interface — alongside new content on production deployment and a hands-on capstone project.

The first edition in November 2025 drew over 1.5 million learners, making it one of the most popular AI courses ever offered. This year's version adds updated content, new speakers, and deeper coverage of agent quality, security, and deployment.

"No, you won't need a CS degree to build with this stuff anymore. That's the part that's actually changed. Show up, pay attention, build something."
— Neil Hoyne, Chief Strategist at Google

What You Will Learn

The five-day course covers the full arc from foundational agent concepts to production-ready systems:

Day	Topic	Focus Area
1	Agents & Vibe Coding	Natural language as the new coding language; autonomous agent design beyond chatbots
2	Agent Tools & Interoperability	External APIs, code execution, agent-to-agent communication
3	Context Engineering	Sessions, skills, memory, token optimization strategies
4	Agent Quality & Security	Testing, guardrails, evaluations, protection against new threat vectors
5	Prototype to Production	Cloud deployment, debugging, observability, enterprise-ready tools

Each day includes whitepapers, companion podcasts, hands-on code labs, and a daily livestream on Kaggle's YouTube channel with course authors and Google engineers. Participants also get access to dedicated channels on Kaggle's Discord for discussion and Q&A.

Capstone Project

The capstone project opens at the end of Day 5 (June 19) with a submission deadline of June 30. Participants must build a working AI agent and submit a Kaggle writeup, video explanation, design rationale, and code link. Top submissions receive Kaggle swag and recognition across Kaggle and Google social channels. All participants who complete the capstone earn a badge and certificate on their Kaggle profile.

Why This Matters for AI Agent Developers

The course comes at a pivotal moment. With Anthropic's Claude Agent SDK billing changes taking effect June 15 and the agent ecosystem expanding rapidly, free educational resources like this are critical for developers looking to upskill.

The vibe coding emphasis is particularly notable. By lowering the barrier to entry — no formal programming experience required — Google is signaling that agent-building is becoming a broadly accessible skill, not just one reserved for experienced software engineers. This aligns with the broader industry trend toward natural-language-driven development and the convergence of MCP, A2A, and other agent protocols that make tool composition easier than ever.

How to Register

Registration is free and open now at the Kaggle course overview page. Requirements:

• A Kaggle account (free, with phone verification)
• A Google AI Studio account (free)
• No programming experience necessary

All livestreams and recordings are available to registrants, and the course is developed directly by Google researchers and engineers.

With over 1.5 million learners from the first run and updated content that reflects the rapid evolution of the agent ecosystem, this is likely the most accessible and comprehensive free AI agents course available in 2026.
