Claude Code for Beginners
A hands-on workshop for people who have never used a terminal. Not a talk. Not a demo you watch. You sit down, we get a coding agent running on your laptop, and you build one real automation on your own work before you leave.
This is the beginner door into the same room that runs Vibe Coding Nights and the Claude Code Clinic. Small group, lots of help, zero assumed knowledge.
Your seat includes a 2 week AI key
Every ticket comes with an API key that powers your coding agent for 14 days, on us. You will be running it within 15 minutes of sitting down, no subscription needed. The included key runs Claude Code on GLM models through Z.ai. If you want Anthropic's Claude models after the workshop, that is a Claude subscription, and we show you the 2 minute switch at the end.
What you walk out with
Claude Code installed and working on your laptop.
One real automation built on your actual work. Your inbox, your files, your spreadsheet, a simple website. You pick, we help.
A 14 day practice window: the included key, a private group with the hosts, and a follow up call the next week so you do not get stuck alone on day 3.
If you do not leave with a working setup and your first automation, full refund.
Format (4:00 to 8:30 PM)
4:00 PM. Doors open. Setup help, and everyone gets their key and a working agent.
4:30 PM. A 10 minute live demo of what this thing actually does.
4:45 to 5:45 PM. First win. The whole room builds the same small thing together, step by step.
5:45 to 7:15 PM. Your project. You pick something from your real life and build it with helpers at your side.
7:15 to 8:00 PM. Show and tell, and what just happened under the hood.
8:00 to 8:30 PM. Where to go next, plus time to hang.
Who this is for
People who keep hearing about AI coding agents and want in: PMs, designers, founders, operators, students, writers. If you can send an email, you can do this. If you already use Claude Code daily, this is not your event. Come Monday instead (see below).
Tickets
Early bird, $149. The first 2 Builder seats. Everything in Builder, just cheaper. Gone once they are claimed.

Sending your team? 3 or more seats at a team rate, invoiced to your company, with a private 30 minute follow up for your group. Message the host.
What to bring
A laptop you can install software on (Mac, Windows, or Linux).
One thing from your real life you wish were automatic. The more specific, the better.
We will send a short setup checklist when you register. It takes 10 minutes and means you spend the evening building, not installing.
Location
Frontier Tower Floor 10, 995 Market St, San Francisco.
Capacity
Twelve seats total. Small on purpose, so everyone gets real help at their own laptop.
