Free AI Workshop: Getting Started with Claude Code

RSVP on Luma : https://luma.com/e20v0qkn

================​

Claude Code is getting a lot of attention, but you don’t need to be a software engineer to get real value from it. In this 90‑minute, hands‑on workshop, you’ll get a gentle, practical introduction to Claude Code so you can start using it to support your work with small automations and simple custom tools.
​This session is a follow‑up to “Agentic AI Foundations with Claude Cowork” and is designed to help you take the next step: going from understanding agentic workflows to building basic building blocks that those workflows can call. We’ll stay firmly in “getting started” territory — you’ll learn what’s realistic for a non‑developer, how to think about simple scripts and helpers, and where you should still rely on a developer for more complex systems.

## ​What we’ll cover

​In 75–90 minutes together, we’ll cover:

• ​What Claude Code is and where it fits in an agentic AI stack.
• ​A clear picture of what you can and shouldn’t expect from Claude Code as a non‑developer.
• ​How to describe a problem or workflow in plain language so Claude Code can suggest simple scripts or utilities.
• ​Guided examples of “starter wins” like cleaning or transforming data, restructuring text, or making small repetitive tasks faster.
• ​How these basic tools can plug back into the workflows you designed in the Cowork workshop.

​The goal is confidence with the basics, not replacing a developer.

## ​Format

• ​90‑minute in‑person workshop (expect ~75 minutes of content + Q&A)
• ​Location: In‑person (bring your laptop)
• ​Style: Live demos, step‑by‑step exercises, and time to adapt a simple example to your own work

## ​Requirements (Read This Before You Register)

​To follow along, you’ll need to be able to run Claude Code during the session.
​Please come with:

• ​A laptop (macOS or Windows) you can bring to the workshop.
• ​A paid Claude plan that includes Claude Code access (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise).
• ​Claude Code installed and working before you arrive (we’ll send a short setup checklist and links in advance).

​You do not need prior coding experience; if you have some, you’ll simply be able to go a bit deeper during the exercises.

***

## ​Who this is for

• ​People who joined the Agentic AI Foundations / Claude Cowork workshop and want a gentle, practical next step.
• ​Operators, creators, and knowledge workers who want to experiment with small, safe automations without trying to “become a developer.”
• ​Anyone curious about what Claude Code can realistically do for them at the “getting started” stage.

***

## ​What you’ll leave with

​By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with:

• ​A grounded understanding of what Claude Code can and can’t do for non‑developers.
• ​At least one simple example (e.g., a basic script or helper) that you’ve seen created and iterated with Claude Code.
• ​A clearer sense of when to use Claude Code yourself and when to involve a developer for more complex work
