Workshop: Build Your Own AI Agents

Description

The Old Rafflesians’ Association, together with the Harvard Club of Singapore, invites you to a hands-on Saturday workshop where you build your own AI agents. This is a working session, not a demo — you’ll leave having built agents of your own for personal use.· Over two hours we’ll cover what an AI agent actually is, the handful of patterns that make agents useful in real work, and how to put them together sensibly. Then we build: from a blank slate, through prompts and tools, to working agents you can continue developing at home.· Who it’s for: alumni who want practical fluency rather than more theory. No prior coding experience is required — you should just be comfortable finding your way around your own laptop.· Capacity is capped on purpose. We want the session to be hands-on with a comfortable troubleshooter-to-participant ratio. Volunteer troubleshooters from the Rafflesian and Harvard alumni communities will be on hand throughout to help you build, debug and improve your agents throughout the session.· Prerequisite: a paid Claude Pro subscription (S$25/month). Prepare in advance, or we’ll help you set it up on the day.· Bring: a laptop with at least two hours of power (charging points are limited) + hot-spot from your mobile phone. Provided: coffee, tea, refreshments (and limited WiFi).When: Saturday, 5 September 2026, doors 2:30pm, session 3:00–5:00pmWhere: Tan Teck Chwee Lecture Theatre (LT2), Blk C 1st Floor, Raffles Institution, 1 Raffles Institution Lane, Singapore 575954.Fees: $10 for ORA members · $25 for other Rafflesians and guests.Register by Friday, 31 July 2026.Questions?
