What we do
Mostly, we build
Around the building, there'll be free courses we take together, competitions, talks, and help getting a finished app in front of people. All of it starts once FSU approves our registration.
The starter track
Eight build sessions, planned for every semester. Each one adds a piece. The last one is putting your app online.
When sessions run- 1
Setup and first prompts
Install Claude Code, open a project, and get your first working result.
- 2
Planning and prompting
Describe what you want clearly enough that it gets built the way you meant.
- 3
Git and GitHub
Save your work, undo mistakes, and keep a history of every change you make.
- 4
Databases
Give your app somewhere to keep its data.
- 5
Skills and project rules
Write the instructions Claude Code follows every time it works on your project, in a file called CLAUDE.md.
- 6
Hooks, permissions and governance
Decide what Claude Code may do on its own and what it has to ask you about first.
- 7
Multi-agent setups
Run several agents on one project, each with its own job, with review built in.
- 8
Shipping and review
Put your app online and check it the way a stranger would use it.
Everything else
Once a week during the fall and spring semesters. Meeting times are posted once the semester schedule is set. Bring a laptop and whatever you're working on, and build with other members around you.
Anthropic Academy has free online courses, such as Claude Code in Action. We plan to take them as a group so nobody works through them alone. The Academy gives the completion certificates; the club doesn't issue its own.
We're planning one judged project competition each semester and a hackathon in the spring, and we'll look for sponsors to put up prize money for the hackathon. The rules, deadline and judging date come out before anything opens. Entry is free.
How competitions work
We're aiming for at least two talks a year, with at least one co-hosted with another registered student organization. Speakers are announced on the Events page once they're confirmed.
Show what you built at a meeting. Other members try it as users and tell you what worked and what didn't. In the spring, Demo Day is where finished projects get shown.
If your app is good enough to put in front of real users, we'll introduce you to student organizations that help people launch things, like entrepreneurship and marketing clubs. We make the introduction; nothing has been agreed with any club yet.
Want in?
Joining is free for any currently enrolled FSU student. Sign-up opens on FSU HQ once our registration is approved, and meeting times are posted once the semester schedule is set.
