Directing the Machine

A three-week intensive · Seoul · ~50 students, ages 15–18

The 2026 AI job market hires on delivery evidence — repos, deployed products, eval suites — not credentials. So every lesson hands the student a real artefact and a named, transferable skill. Three professional seasons: judge (Week 1), make (Week 2), build (Week 3).

  1. The aim format: I can use [a new quantifiable skill] to create [an artefact] which is used for [a purpose].
  2. The doubling: every lesson teaches one industry skill AND one AI tool/skill that hyperdrives it. The AI is the level-up, not the substitute.

Features

Projects
A shared workspace with a persistent knowledge base + instructions. On Team plans, shareable across the org with can-use / can-edit permissions. Static background context loaded into chats.· Best for: Shared source material; team continuity across days
Skills (SKILL.md)
A folder with a SKILL.md (YAML name + description, then instructions). Claude auto-invokes it when relevant. Portable, task-activated procedures usable everywhere. Owners can provision org-wide.· Best for: Packaging a workflow; the day's specialist
Cowork
A desktop agent that runs on the student's machine, plans, runs code in an isolated VM, and writes real files to disk. On by default for Team. Projects in Cowork are local, not shared.· Best for: The real build work; the engineer/founder LARP
CLAUDE.md
A plain-markdown file of standing rules/conventions Claude reads and obeys for a build. Version-controlled context.· Best for: Teaching context-engineering; enforcing a standard
Claude Code
The command-line agent for directing builds via Explore→Plan→Code→Commit.· Best for: The hands-on dev lessons; deploying the shell
