Kansas City · Live online · Mon Oct 12 · 8 PM Central
An AI coding class for Kansas City, on your own laptop.
Coding Coach is a live online class, taught from Omaha, for people in Kansas City who have never written code and have something they want built. You tell Claude what you want in plain English, and it writes the code. By 9:30 you will have made a live website yourself: your idea, on the internet, with its own link you can text to a friend.
The session is 90 minutes: about 30 minutes getting everyone set up and connected, then the hour of building.

When and where
Same time zone. No drive.
Kansas City and Omaha keep the same time, so there is nothing to convert. Class starts at 8:00 PM Central and ends at 9:30 PM, whether you are in Missouri or Kansas, Brookside or Overland Park, the Northland or Lee's Summit.
There is no classroom. The class is taught on video from Omaha, about three hours up I-29, and you take it from wherever your laptop is. You build on your own machine and share your screen when you get stuck. What you make ends the evening on the internet, so it opens on your phone too.
Coding Coach is an independent class, not affiliated with Anthropic.
Where this fits
The short road, and the long one
This class is the short road: one idea, one evening. If you want a developer job, or a room of people to talk AI with, something else will serve you better.
-
If you wantA career in software
A career programBuilt for people who want a developer job. It takes weeks or months of steady study, and it is the right choice if a new career is the goal. -
If you wantTo meet people working with AI
A local AI meetupGood for ideas and for meeting people. It is not a class. -
If you wantOne live website of your own by the end of the evening
This class90 minutes, five people, live. No career track and no certificate. You bring an idea and leave with it live on the internet.
If a developer job is the goal, start with a career program, not here. If you have one idea and one free evening, this is the short road.
Examples, not past student work
What Kansas City's working world could build
Small on purpose. One job, done well, finished tonight.
I want an app that
- A barbecue joint or catererturns a head count into pounds of brisket, ribs and sides.
- A freight or warehouse deskshows which dock doors are booked for tomorrow.
- An engineering or architecture officetracks who has reviewed which drawing set.
- A vet clinic or animal-health repworks out a dose from weight and prints a label.
- A youth soccer or baseball parentbuilds the weekend carpool for a tournament.
- A First Fridays artist or makerkeeps a price list and totals a sale with tax.

FAQ
Before you book
Is there an in-person class in Kansas City?
No. Every Coding Coach class is live online. It is taught from Omaha, and you join by video from home.
What time does it start in Kansas City?
8:00 PM Central, the same as Omaha. It ends at 9:30 PM. The Kansas and Missouri sides of the metro are both on Central time.
Is this a bootcamp?
No. It is a single 90-minute class with five seats. Bootcamps and career programs take months and aim at a developer job. This aims at one small website that you thought of, live on the internet.
I'm already taking a coding course. Is this the same thing?
No. Those teach you to write code yourself. This teaches you to direct an AI that writes it, and to test what it gives you. The two fit together fine.
Can my office in Kansas City book all five seats?
Yes. Email us and we will set up a private class for up to five people.
Do you teach anywhere else?
The same class is open to people in Omaha, Des Moines and Denver, and anywhere else with a laptop and an evening.
Also taught live online to people in Omaha, Des Moines and Denver. The main class page has what you leave with and the main FAQ, and the setup checklist has every step before class.
