Your AI Immersion

What You're Doing Today

Today you'll go from a fresh laptop to a working app that solves a real Jump 450 problem — built with Claude Code, our AI coding tool.

You don't need to be a developer. Claude writes the code. Your job is to describe the problem clearly, steer Claude toward what you actually want, and know when something's good enough to ship. By 4:00 you'll demo what you built to a small panel. That's the whole day.

What You'll Walk Away With

A working app

Something real that runs and solves an actual problem from your world.

Hands-on Claude Code

You'll have built with it yourself — not watched a demo.

Your AI toolkit

Installed on your machine and ready for real work after today.

How we work

A real feel for how Jump 450 uses AI day to day.

Your Day, Hour by Hour

10:00 – 10:45

Get set up With your AI Buddy

10:45 – 11:00

Get your challenge

Your buddy hands you a real problem matched to your role and walks you through what a good result looks like.

11:00 – 12:30

Build — block 1

You and Claude Code. Stuck? Post in #internal_ai-support — asking well is part of the skill.

12:30 – 1:00

Check-in with your buddy

Show what you've got — broken is fine. Get unblocked and trim scope if you need to.

1:00 – 1:30

Lunch / breather

Step away and eat. You'll come back for the final build with a clear head.

1:30 – 3:00

Build — block 2

Keep going, and deploy it if you can — your tools are already set up for that.

3:00 – 3:15

Prep your demo

Plan a five-minute walkthrough: the problem, what you built, how you worked with Claude.

3:15 – 3:45

Demo it To the panel

Five minutes to show it, ten for questions.

3:45 – 4:00

Debrief

Feedback and what's next — skills to pick up, a follow-up session if it'd help.

Your Challenge

You'll get one real pain point from your world — scoped to fit a day and simple enough to show working by 3:00. It's picked for your role, so it'll feel familiar even if the tools are new.

A working slice beats a broken vision. It's smarter to ship something small that actually works than to aim huge and demo nothing. Cutting scope to hit the demo is a good call — not a failure.

How to Get the Most Out of It

Be specific with Claude. "Build a tracker" gets you less than "a table of client requests with owner, status, and due date, sortable by status."
Iterate, don't restart. If the first output isn't right, tell Claude what's wrong and why — it'll fix it faster than starting over.
Break it into steps. Get one piece working, then add the next. Don't try to build the whole thing in one prompt.
Steal from the starter pack. Glass has starter prompts and dojo.jump450.com has skills teammates already built. Use them.
Ask early. Stuck more than ~20 minutes? Post in #internal_ai-support. Knowing when and how to ask is a real skill here.
Aim at the demo. Build the thing you'll show first. Make it fancy later, if there's time.

The Demo

At 3:15 you'll get about five minutes to show what you built and ten for questions. Cover three things:

The problem you tackled.
What you built.
How you worked with Claude to get there.

Be honest about what's rough or unfinished — that's expected on day one, and talking about it clearly actually counts in your favor.

How You'll Be Scored

The panel looks at four things:

Does it work?

Your app runs and does the job on the demo path.

Working with Claude

Clear, specific prompts — and you steer when it goes sideways.

Scope & judgment

You picked a demoable slice and asked for help when stuck.

Communication

You explain the problem, the build, and your process clearly.

This is a real test — and that's the point. Everyone goes through the same day under the same clock. The score sets the follow-up support you get next, not your standing — so push hard and show us how you work.

Before Day One

Come in with these ready so the morning is spent building, not troubleshooting:

Your laptop is on and you can log in.
You're signed in to Slack (workspace jump-450) and have joined #internal_ai-support.
Your email is active.

Your AI Buddy handles the rest — your Claude seat, your challenge, and the calendar holds are already set. You just need to show up ready to build.
