Claude Code Camp: From Zero to Your First AI Agent

Overview

Join ExamPro Training Inc. for a hands-on, instructor-led workshop designed for absolute beginners who want to understand AI coding tools and build their first working AI agent.

No previous experience building AI agents is required. You will be guided step by step through a starter project, learn how an AI agent works, and use Claude Code or another AI coding tool to add practical features such as memory, goals, orchestration, and scheduling.

The project is designed to make agent concepts easy to understand through a practical example. By the end of the workshop, you will have worked with a real agent codebase and gained a foundation for building more capable AI-powered applications.

You can follow along with Claude Code or the coding harness of your choice.

What You’ll Learn

The workshop will guide you through six beginner-friendly sections:

• What an AI agent is and how it works
• Getting started with the project and development environment
• Giving the agent memory so it can track important information
• Adding simple goals that guide the agent’s actions
• Understanding orchestration and how agent tasks are organized
• Adding scheduling and exploring next steps for your own projects

Expect a mix of instructor-led walkthroughs, live demonstrations, and guided exercises on your own laptop.

Level and Prerequisites

Level: Beginner

This workshop is designed for learners who are curious about AI coding and agents but may not have built one before.

You should have:

• Basic familiarity with using a computer and installing software
• An interest in AI coding tools such as Claude Code
• Basic programming knowledge is helpful, but not required
• Comfort following step-by-step technical instructions

You do not need previous experience with AI agents, containers, Linux, or advanced software development.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is for:

• Beginners interested in AI-powered coding
• Students and professionals exploring AI development
• Developers who have used AI tools but have not built an agent before
• Anyone who wants a practical introduction to Claude Code and AI agent projects

What Is Claude Code Camp?

Claude Code Camp is a practical learning experience focused on using Claude Code to work with real software projects.

In this beginner workshop, you will start with a prepared project and be guided through the core ideas behind AI agents. Instead of needing to build everything from scratch, you will learn by making clear, useful improvements to an existing starter agent.

What’s the Project?

The workshop project is a specialized AI agent designed to play an open-source Multi-User Dungeon, or MUD.

A MUD is a text-based interactive world where the environment changes as the player explores, interacts with objects, and completes tasks. This makes it a useful and engaging way to learn how an AI agent can observe information, make decisions, remember past events, and work toward goals.

You do not need any previous knowledge of MUDs or game development to participate.

What to Bring

Please bring:

• Your own laptop and power adapter
• Claude Code, or another AI coding tool of your choice, with an active subscription or API credits on your own account
• A modern web browser
• A GitHub account, recommended but not required

We will provide guidance for accessing the workshop project and getting set up. Participants who prefer not to install development tools locally can follow along using GitHub Codespaces.
