“The value is in checking. Getting it to generate things is one part, but the real value is bouncing ideas off it and getting detailed feedback — not just where you've gone wrong, but how you can improve. That's where students could get a lot of value.”
Russell Conduit · Associate Dean (Psychology) · RMIT University
“I've already enhanced my skills over the past week — been able to interact with AI to redraft, polish, and give suggestions or ideas.”

For developers, analysts, and technical builders who want to go beyond chat. Install Claude Code, connect it to databases and APIs, and build real automated workflows in your own environment.

  • You write some code — Python, JavaScript, SQL or similar
  • You're comfortable in a terminal (or willing to be by the end)
  • You have a real workflow you want to automate, not just experiment with
  • You want hands-on, not slides
Claude Code installed and configured on your machine
3+ real workflows automated in your own environment
Working knowledge of MCP — connecting Claude to databases, APIs, and the web
A project plan for your first AI agent build

The surface area is massive. Here are the kinds of things students build in and after the cohort.

Web scrapers
🕸
Data-pipeline glue
Design & wireframe generation
API integrations
Report generators
Personal assistants over your own data

Anthropic's AI Fluency framework splits human-AI interaction into three modes. Most people only use the first. Claude Code unlocks all three.

Mode 1

Automation

You tell the AI what to do; it executes.

“Summarise this video.” “Format this spreadsheet.”

Most people live here.

Mode 2

Augmentation

You and the AI think together, back and forth.

“Review my memo and suggest improvements.”

This is where chat gets useful.

Mode 3

Agency

You configure the AI to work independently on your behalf.

“Every morning, read my inbox, draft replies to the ones I can delegate.”

This is where Claude Code earns its keep.

Reference: Anthropic AI Fluency.

1. Install + first project
Get Claude Code running on your machine and set up your first project context.
2. Terminal workflow
Read, edit, and search codebases with Claude — the conversation, not the syntax.
3. Project context
CLAUDE.md and .claude/ configuration so Claude knows your codebase.
4. MCP servers
Connect Claude to your databases, APIs, and the web.
5. Build your first automation
One real workflow, end-to-end, that you take home and keep running.

Dr Dennis Wollersheim
Dr Dennis Wollersheim
CTO · Co-founder · Facilitator · LinkedIn
PhD in Computer Science, Bachelor of Social Work — decades of experience turning messy data into meaningful insight, first with traditional tools, now with AI as a force multiplier. Dennis built the AI systems that run Real Minds AI: MCP servers, vault management, multi-agent workflows, automated state machines, a transcript/RAG pipeline, and an AI log collector. He doesn't just teach Claude Code — he lives in it.

Claude Code ships with a plugin marketplace. You install a skill once; it's available in every project. Examples used in our cohorts:

S

Superpowers

structured thinking (brainstorming, hegelian-dialectic, dispatching-parallel-agents)

C

Context7

pulls live library documentation when you're coding

P

Playwright

drives a real browser for testing and automation

M

Marp

generates slide decks from markdown

You'll install and use 2–3 of these in every RMAI course.

“What's blowing my mind is how rapidly this is evolving. I had a look four or five years ago and it's so different now. Back then it would just hallucinate gibberish; now it's a trusted partner.”
