Building the future with AI — right here on campus. Learn, create, and innovate with Claude by Anthropic.
Join the ClubThe African Leadership University Claude Builder Club is a student-run organization dedicated to exploring the cutting-edge capabilities of Anthropic's Claude AI. We foster innovation, collaboration, and learning in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.
You don't need to be a BSE major or know what an API is to show up. Some of us came in barely knowing how to write a prompt. If that sounds like you, pull up.
We run sessions where you actually build something — not just watch someone else do it. Prompting, APIs, SDKs, MCP, full apps.
Where you go from "what if..." to a working prototype. Messy code are welcome.
No "you should already know this" energy. We figure things out together and help each other get unstuck.
Claude is an AI assistant built by Anthropic, designed to be helpful, harmless, and honest. It can assist with writing, analysis, coding, math, and creative tasks — all through natural conversation.
Chat with Claude like you would with a knowledgeable colleague. It understands context and nuance.
Write, debug, and explain code across dozens of programming languages.
Summarize documents, analyze data, and help you think through complex problems.
Built with safety at its core. Anthropic leads AI safety research to ensure responsible AI.
Get access to Claude API credits to build and experiment with real AI applications — no cost to you.
Learn prompt engineering, API integration, and AI app development through guided, practical sessions.
Connect with fellow builders, mentors, and the broader Anthropic community. Grow your network.
Go beyond tutorials. Ship projects that solve real problems and build a portfolio that stands out.
