About this Event
Turn your idea into a working prototype in one hands-on day. No coding experience required.
Have a business idea you’d love to bring to life?
Join JR Academy in Melbourne for a practical workshop where you’ll use Claude Code to turn an idea into something people can actually try.
Whether you’re exploring a new service, building a useful customer tool or improving a business process, you’ll work through a guided journey: ideate, build and test.
What you’ll do
- Define your target user and the problem you want to solve.
- Turn your idea into a clear product brief.
- Build your first working version with Claude Code.
- Test the core workflow, review feedback and improve your prototype.
- Demonstrate what you’ve built and identify your next steps.
What you’ll take home
- A locally runnable prototype with one complete core workflow.
- A product brief outlining your audience, requirements and success criteria.
- A testing checklist and prioritised improvement list.
Who should attend
Founders, small business owners, consultants, freelancers and professionals with a product or service idea.
No previous coding experience is required. You should be comfortable using a laptop and learning unfamiliar software.
