Three Tools. One Workflow.

You'll use three tools together. Each one has a specific job — and they're designed to work as a team.

💻

VS Code

A free code editor where you open project folders, view and edit files, and run terminal commands. Think of it as your workspace.

Your Editor
🤖

Claude Code

An AI assistant that lives inside VS Code. You describe what you want to build and it writes the code, edits files, and explains what it's doing.

Your AI Partner
🐙

GitHub

Where your projects are saved online. Every project gets its own repository — a permanent, shareable home for your work that you can link to from anywhere.

Your Portfolio

What Business Students Build

No technical background required. Each of these is a real portfolio piece that demonstrates initiative and problem-solving to internship recruiters.

1

Data Dashboard for an Internship Project

Upload a spreadsheet of sales data, survey results, or market research and ask Claude Code to build an interactive dashboard with charts and filters — shareable via a URL.

Data & Analytics
2

Professional Portfolio Website

Build a personal site that showcases your projects, internship experience, and skills. Claude Code writes and styles it — you just describe what you want.

Career & Branding
3

Consulting Deliverable Microsite

Present consulting recommendations as a polished web page with visuals and a clear narrative — instead of just a PDF. Clients and professors notice.

Strategy & Consulting
4

Competitive Market Research Tool

Build a page that organizes competitor data, pricing, or industry metrics into a structured view that makes comparison fast and repeatable.

Marketing & Research
5

Automated Report Generator

Describe a report you write manually every week and ask Claude Code to build a tool that formats it automatically from your raw inputs.

Operations & Efficiency
6

Financial Model Visualizer

Take a DCF or scenario analysis from a finance class and build an interactive version where you adjust assumptions and see outputs update in real time.

Finance & Modeling
7

Customer Survey or Feedback Form

Build a live web form that collects and stores responses — useful for class projects, club events, or internship research. You control the design and the data.

Research & Design
8

Event or Club Management Page

Build a site for a student org or campus event — schedule, members, sign-up links. A low-stakes first project that produces something immediately useful.

Leadership & Community
