Choose Your Adventure
When you start the course, Claude will ask about your work and recommend the best scenario for you. All scenarios teach the same skills — pick whichever sounds most interesting!
You are: The new coordinator at Brightmoor Community Hub
The situation: The previous coordinator quit mid-way through planning the summer festival. Vendor contracts are a mess, the budget doesn't add up, and sponsors are getting angry.

Through any scenario, you'll analyze chaos, discover insights, find solutions, and create professional deliverables — skills you'll use every day.
