What tools we use

The same stack real startups use.

No toy platforms. Students learn tools they'll still be using in five years — set up with instructor guidance, including safe handling of accounts and API keys.

01

Claude

The AI students build with. They learn to direct it precisely — describing features, reading the code it writes, and catching its mistakes.

02

Vercel

Deployment. Every student's project goes live on the internet with a real URL — the same way professional teams ship.

03

Supabase

A real database. Students learn what tables, rows, and queries are — transferable fundamentals, not proprietary tricks.

What you'll need at home

LAPTOP

Any modern Mac, Windows, or Chromebook with a real keyboard.

CLAUDE PRO

$20/month, needed from Week 3 onward. Weeks 1–2 use free tools only, so expect roughly $40–60 total over the program — like a textbook fee. Anthropic's terms require account holders to be 18+, so a parent creates and owns the account while the student works under supervision.

EVERYTHING ELSE

Deployment and database accounts are free at the levels we use. Classes run live on Google Meet, and every session is recorded for makeups.
