Due Before Module 8

Build Week

Your cohort has a brief and a plan. Module 8 is the review session. The build happens between now and then.

Assignment

Build the First Working Version

Using the project brief from Module 7, build the core of your system in Claude Teams. You do not need a finished product. You need something that demonstrably does the one thing the brief says it does, well enough that you can show it working at the Week 9 capstone.

Work in the shared team project so your cohort can see each other's progress, iterate together, and surface problems before Module 8. The builder and architect should be moving in Claude Teams this week. The tester should be running inputs through the system and documenting what breaks.

Come to Module 8 with a working prototype or a clear honest account of where you got stuck. Either is productive. Showing up without having tried is not.

Building in Claude Teams

Create a new conversation inside the shared team project. Start with the project brief as context - paste it in at the top. Then begin building: write the setup frame, define the agent roles, draft the config, run the first test.

Ask Claude to explain what it is doing as you go. Not every step needs to make sense to every person in the cohort, but the builder should understand what the system is doing well enough to explain it to the tester and eventually to the other cohorts at the capstone.

If you get stuck, drop a note in the team project describing where you are and what you tried. The group can help asynchronously, and it gives Module 8 a concrete starting point.


What Module 8 Looks Like

Module 8 is the finish and review session. The group will do a working demo of what was built, identify what needs to be fixed or tightened, and prepare the capstone presentation. The more you have built before that session, the more useful it will be.

The Week 9 capstone is a combined session with all three cohorts. Each cohort gets thirty minutes: a brief presentation of the problem and approach, a live or recorded demo, and questions from the other cohorts. The goal is not to impress. The goal is to show something real that others could adapt for their own work.
