​Claude Community Boston Workshop

​Come build with Claude. Meet the people building what's next in Boston.

​Wednesday, September 23 · 5:30–8:30 PM
Chao Center 25 Harvard Way, Boston

​What happens when you stop talking about what AI could do and actually sit down and build?

​Come find out.

​We're bringing the Boston Claude community together for an evening of hands-on building, experimentation, and connection. Whether you've never built with an AI model before or you're already shipping AI-powered products, you'll have a chance to explore what's possible with Claude and build something of your own.

​Bring your laptop, bring an idea — or come with absolutely no idea at all. We'll give you a starting point.

​Every attendee will receive $50 in Anthropic API credits to use during the event and continue experimenting afterward.

​✨ What to expect

​A night of building, not sitting and watching.

​We'll start with a short live Claude build to spark some ideas. Then you'll choose the challenge that interests you most and spend the evening turning an idea into something real.

​You can build solo or alongside other members of the community.

​Choose your challenge

​✨ Delight / Everyday
Build something fun, creative, surprising, or genuinely useful in your everyday life.

​💼 Business
Build something that creates real value for a business — helping people make decisions, sell better, operate smarter, or grow.

​🧠 Technical Breakthrough
Push Claude somewhere hard. Build a workflow, application, or technical solution that solves something you couldn't easily automate before.

​🔐 Security
Build something that helps people spot risks, investigate issues, protect something, or improve security.

​Not sure which one is for you? That's completely fine. Come explore and see what sparks your curiosity.
