Claude Artifacts: Build Interactive Tools Without Writing Code

This class offers a hands-on introduction to Claude Artifacts, the feature that turns a plain-language description into an interactive, shareable tool. Learners begin with a tour of real-world examples to understand what Artifacts can do and how they differ from ordinary chat responses.

The bulk of the session is spent on a guided build, practicing the full cycle of describing, generating, refining, and polishing a finished result. No coding background is needed, only a willingness to describe what you want and iterate from there.

Learners will have the opportunity to:
1. Explore a range of real Artifact examples and identify what makes them useful
2. Practice translating a plain-language idea into a working interactive tool
3. Work through the iteration loop of requesting changes and refining outputs
4. Share and save a finished tool built during class
5. Build a starter library of proven prompts for continued work with Artifacts

Topics:
- What Artifacts are and how they differ from standard Claude responses
- Touring real-world Artifact examples
- Describing what you want: language and structure that gets results
- The guided build: from idea to finished tool
- Requesting changes and polishing your output
- Sharing and saving your Artifact
