Claude Community Boston Workshop

Come build with Claude. Meet the people building what's next in Boston.

Wednesday, September 23 · 5:30–8:30 PMHarvard Innovation Labs · Boston

What happens when you stop talking about what AI could do and actually sit down and build?

Come find out.

We're bringing the Boston Claude community together for an evening of hands-on building, experimentation, and connection. Whether you've never built with an AI model before or you're already shipping AI-powered products, you'll have a chance to explore what's possible with Claude and build something of your own.

Bring your laptop, bring an idea — or come with absolutely no idea at all. We'll give you a starting point.

Every attendee will receive $50 in Anthropic API credits to use during the event and continue experimenting afterward.

✨ What to expect

A night of building, not sitting and watching.

We'll start with a short live Claude build to spark some ideas. Then you'll choose the challenge that interests you most and spend the evening turning an idea into something real.

You can build solo or alongside other members of the community.

Choose your challenge

✨ Delight / EverydayBuild something fun, creative, surprising, or genuinely useful in your everyday life.

💼 BusinessBuild something that creates real value for a business — helping people make decisions, sell better, operate smarter, or grow.

🧠 Technical BreakthroughPush Claude somewhere hard. Build a workflow, application, or technical solution that solves something you couldn't easily automate before.

🔐 SecurityBuild something that helps people spot risks, investigate issues, protect something, or improve security.

Not sure which one is for you? That's completely fine. Come explore and see what sparks your curiosity.
