Course overview
In just 6 weeks, you'll go from beginner to full-stack AI developer, mastering the latest AI coding tools and most in-demand AI Engineering skills.
Trusted by 200+ engineers, PMs, designers, and founders building real agentic apps from zero experience.
How are we different?
...
1. We introduce you to the engineering stack that is actually used in the industry!
🧠 You will learn how to think like a real AI engineer, without relying on Agentic Frameworks.
Tools you will use:
- Vercel AI SDK
- Next.js and Node.js
- Supabase for database
- Claude Code and Cursor for coding
- etc.
You can choose between the Python and Typescript tracks.
Our instructors and TAs will help you get started, even if you have never shipped a full-stack AI application before.
...
2. You will build every single day!
🧑💻 With Daily 10 AM PT Live Coding Sessions
From Monday-Friday, we host a live coding session that brings the week’s theme to life.
Whether it’s building your first agent, integrating RAG, or connecting to an MCP server.
You’ll watch a senior engineer, Hai walk through:
- Setting up the right project structure
- Choosing the right tools and frameworks for the use case.
- Building a real, functional feature from scratch
- Debugging and thinking out loud in real time
- No fluff. No time-wasting. Just raw, practical building.
So you can mirror the process and ship your own version by the end of the week.
Bring your questions. Follow along. And get your reps in.
...
3. Learn Agent Engineering in 2 Phases.
Phase 1: Master the Agent Fundamentals (Weeks 1-3)
In the first 3 weeks of the bootcamp, you'll dive straight into Agent Engineering Fundamentals with a proven learn-by-doing approach:
✨ On top of Daily Live Coding Sessions, you will get 3 Live Lectures. (See Syllabus below for topics)
✨ You will gain a Deeper Understanding of what agentic applications can (and can't) do
✨You willl join weekly Idea Refinement Sessions to improve your technical approach
✨ You will complete weekly Practical Assignments and get live feedback from our AI grader for faster itieration.
By week 3, you'll understand AI agents better than 99% of professionals in your field.
Phase 2: Time to build! (Weeks 4-6)
This is where transformation happens. You'll build a Capstone Project that showcases your new superpower:
During the last 3 weeks of the bootcamp you will get to:
✨ Demonstrate Capstone Progress to keep you accountable and accelerate growth
✨ Real-World Use Case Deep Dives showing exactly how top companies implement AI agents. (See syllabus)
✨Exclusive Guest Lectures from industry leaders sharing insider workflows and strategies. (See Sylllabus)
✨ Final Graduation Day for your Capstone Project that proves your expertise to employers and clients
The AI agent economy is exploding.
Companies are desperately seeking professionals who can build, deploy, and optimize intelligent and reliable Agentic systems.
This bootcamp is the best place to equip you with everything you need to launch your career in AI no matter your background.

Hai scaled AI Tinkerers Ottawa from 30 members to Canada's largest AI developer community (800+ members) in under a year. His model is now being replicated globally in 80+ cities. Ottawa Business Journal featured it as a "grassroots phenomenon" exclusively for elite AI builders.
Hai advises and invests in top-tier YC-backed AI startups on production-ready systems:
As a LangChain Python contributor, he built one of the first viral projects combining LLMs with web scraping, establishing him as an early innovator in the field.
Fun fact: Hai didn't start with a technical degree - he studied Cinema & Economics and taught himself to code on the job. HIs unconventional path is exactly why he can break down complex AI concepts for developers from any background, technical or not.
