Courses that end with something you shipped
Two families of course. The Claude Series is a set of short, hands-on masterclasses on a single Claude tool, open to anyone. The bootcamps are 5-week, project-based programs for teens building a portfolio.
Which course should I take?
- Want to get hands-on with one Claude tool quickly — pick a masterclass from The Claude Series. No experience needed, and each one is self-contained.
- A teen building a coding portfolio over 5 weeks — go to the bootcamps. New to coding? Course 1. Already writes Python? Course 2.
- Not sure between the two bootcamps — a quick readiness check: can you write a function that uses
if,for, andreturn, and run a script from the terminal? If yes, you're ready for Course 2. If not, Course 1 first.
Series · 3 masterclasses
The Claude Series
Short, hands-on masterclasses, each focused on a single Claude tool. Built for total beginners — students, professionals, freelancers, and founders — and every one includes hands-on labs, so you leave with a real deliverable rather than notes.
Claude Code: The Terminal Architect
Build & Ship Real Apps — Without Writing a Single Line of Code
- Live online
- 8 segments · 2 live builds
- No experience needed
Direct Claude Code in plain English: set the project brain, describe the outcome, review and correct, then ship and automate. You leave with a deployed app you keep and one automation already running on a timer.
- A working app built and deployed live, with no code written by hand
- CLAUDE.md as your project brain — the single highest-leverage habit
- Routines and /schedule, so tasks keep running after class ends
- MCP connectors for Gmail, Calendar, and web search

Claude Design: The Visual Architect
From Prompts to Production Workflows
- Online masterclass
- 2 modules
- Beginner to practical builder
Use Claude Design as a creative partner instead of a blank canvas — describe what you need, refine it with real context, and turn it into a clickable prototype that is backed by editable code.
- Chat-and-canvas: every design lives as code you can edit element by element
- Import a brand system so colors, type, and components stay consistent
- Build interactive prototypes and design live with your team
- Hand off to Claude Code with /design-sync, or publish to a live domain

Claude Cowork: The Executive Orchestrator
From Desktop Setup to Automated Workflows
- 2 hours
- Online
- 2 modules + 2 labs
- Beginner to practical user
Turn Claude from a chat assistant into a desktop coworker that organizes workspaces, creates real files, connects your apps, and runs scheduled work — with permissions and approval loops throughout.
- Safe setup: sandboxes, permissions, and approval loops
- Projects and folder instructions that make Claude follow your rules
- Real files out: documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, structured reports
- Connectors (Google Drive, Slack, Zoom MCP), screen control, mobile dispatch

Bootcamps · 2 courses
Project bootcamps for teens
Two courses, one path. Course 1 takes a complete beginner to their first shipped app. Course 2 takes someone who already writes Python into building real AI agents. Both run 5 weeks and end with projects you can open, run, and show.
Course 1 · Foundation track
AI Coding — Learn Python with Cursor
- 5 weeks
- Online
- Ages 12–20
- No experience needed
Starting from zero, students learn Python inside Cursor — using AI to generate, edit, and debug code — and turn an idea into a real app they ship and present.
What you'll learn
- Week 1 — Python basics — variables and data types, writing and running real code in Cursor from day one
- Week 2 — Data structures, functions, and loops — organizing scattered code into logic that solves a problem
- Week 3 — OOP, deeper Cursor workflows (code generation, editing, debugging, agent mode), and GitHub version control
- Week 4 — APIs, JSON, and the web — pulling in real data and building the final project
- Week 5 — Demo Day — polish, record a demo, and present live
What you'll finish with
- One original app you built and can run — a small game (Tetris, 2048) or a useful tool
- A public GitHub repo holding every weekly project
- A recorded demo walkthrough, presented live on Demo Day
- A completion certificate, on finishing the course and meeting the grade bar
- Prerequisites:
- None. Built for absolute beginners — no coding experience required.
- Format:
- Each week: 2 recorded lessons (watch anytime) + one 2-hour live session (teaching and Q&A). Bookable 1:1 TA sessions and a regular office hour throughout. 9 lectures across 4 teaching weeks, then a Demo Day week.

Course 2 · Advanced track
AI Agent Application Development — From Chatbot to Autonomous Agent
- 5 weeks
- Online
- Ages 12–18
- Basic Python required
Five weeks, five projects. Students build one new agent capability each week — talking, remembering, acting, planning — then combine all four into the WikiMind capstone.
What you'll learn
- Week 1 · Talks — Persona Chatbot — tokens, prompts, system prompts, and deploying to a public link
- Week 2 · Remembers — Knowledge Agent — context engineering, memory, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), so it answers from your sources instead of guessing
- Week 3 · Acts — Research Agent — tool and function calling plus web search, so it gathers and reports back
- Week 4 · Plans — Planning Agent — multi-step planning, the agent loop, and safety guardrails
- Week 5 · Delivers — WikiMind capstone — one agent that chats, remembers, searches, and plans
What you'll finish with
- 5 GitHub projects — 3 of them live at public URLs anyone can open and try
- The WikiMind capstone as the centerpiece of the portfolio
- The ability to explain LLMs, system prompts, RAG, tool calling, and the agent loop in a sentence each
- A completion certificate (PDF), on finishing the course and meeting the grade bar
- Prerequisites:
- No AI background needed, but basic Python is required: you can read and write a function containing if, for, and return, and run a script from the terminal. Starting from zero? Take Course 1 first.
- Format:
- About 4 hours a week — a 2-hour live lecture plus a 2-hour TA-led workshop — roughly 20 hours across the 5 weeks.
