Courses give you guided labs and certificates; this folder gives you the reference depth and real cases. Use both: watch a module → do the matching capstone task in 45-capstone-projects.md.

🧠 Quick Recall

• Trick: “Watch a module → do the matching capstone.” Courses give labs; this folder gives depth.

👨‍🏫 Teach It

• Do: assign Claude Code 101 as week-1 homework; discuss at the next session.
• They’ll trip on: passive watching — pair every course with hands-on work.
