# AI Coding Bootcamp with Claude Code Live Online (High School)

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

## Overview

Ever wish you could just tell a computer what to build and watch it happen? That's exactly what Claude Code lets you do. Claude Code isn't just autocomplete. It can read through entire projects, find bugs, write new features, and make changes across multiple files. In this hands-on course designed for high school students, you'll learn how to use AI as your personal coding assistant, with no prior coding or AI experience needed. 

Students will learn how to write clear prompts that get real results, debug broken code with AI assistance, and build projects across multiple files. The curriculum also walks through setting up safety checkpoints so nothing goes wrong permanently, keeping you in control of what the AI actually does to your code. 

### Class Notes

- **Method of Delivery:**  Live Online (live-streamed with the ability to ask questions and interact with the instructor in real-time).   
- **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
