Waterloo Claude Code Workshop for Beginners

If you have been curious about how to use Claude Code but felt intimidated by the setup or the command line, this workshop is designed specifically for you. We are getting together in Waterloo to walk through the basics of getting the tool running, exploring what it can actually do, and helping each other troubleshoot any initial hurdles. The goal is to demystify the process in a relaxed environment where no question is too simple.

This session is perfect for beginners who want to move beyond the browser interface and start integrating Claude into their coding workflow. Whether you are a student, a hobbyist, or just someone interested in developer tools, you will fit right in. We will be keeping it low-pressure and collaborative, focusing on shared learning rather than a formal lecture. Please bring your laptop and a bit of curiosity.
