Lecture 03: Build a Website with AI (No Coding!)
Students meet Claude and build their own “About Me” website just by typing English. What a website is (static vs dynamic, HTML/CSS/React made simple)
Meet Claude — describe it in English, step by step, and it writes the code
Built an About Me site live: text → personality → projects → cards → nav bar → one page → images
Changed colours/fonts/animations just by asking. Bonus: built a space-shooter game with Claude
Lesson: you don’t need to code — just describe what you want, step by step
Homework: improve your About Me page; best one gets featured + a prize
- Mind Maps & Languages: Creates visual learning maps and supports multiple languages, including Urdu.
- Live Demo: Answered a Harry Potter question in Urdu directly from the uploaded chapter.
