# AI Coding Bootcamp with Claude Code Online (Self-Paced)

Canonical URL: <https://www.nextgenbootcamp.com/classes/ai-bootcamp-claude-code-online>

## Overview

This self-paced course introduces high school students to the future of coding with Claude Code, an AI assistant that works directly in the terminal. More than a basic autocomplete tool, Claude Code can read entire projects, help find bugs, write new features, and make changes across multiple files. Through guided lessons and hands-on exercises, students learn how to use AI as a coding assistant, even with no prior coding or AI experience.

Students practice writing clear prompts that lead to useful results, debugging broken code with AI support, and building projects that span multiple files. The course also covers how to set up safety checkpoints before making changes, helping students stay in control of their code while experimenting with AI-powered development.

### Class Notes

- Method of Delivery: Self-Paced (complete the course on your own schedule through pre-recorded lessons and guided exercises).   
- Prerequisites & Ages: The program is designed for high school and college students. Prior coding/AI experience is not required, but students must be comfortable with computer basics. 
- Computer: Live online attendees should have their own Mac or PC.

## What you'll learn

- Explain how agentic coding tools like Claude Code differ from regular AI chatbots and code autocomplete
- Launch Claude Code in the terminal to explore a codebase, and use Plan Mode to map out tasks before letting AI take action
- Create and maintain CLAUDE.md files that give Claude the context it needs to understand your project and work effectively
- Use Claude Code to debug failing tests, track down the root cause of errors, and refactor existing code to make it cleaner and easier to maintain
- Build new features across multiple files using AI-guided workflows from start to finish
- Manage AI context windows to keep performance sharp, and configure permissions and safeguards to stay in control without slowing down your workflow
- Integrate Claude Code into real development workflows using version control and code review best practices
