Questions engineers ask before they join
Labs, workshops and the buildcamp
Is there a free agentic AI course?
Yes. Every Live Lab is a free Lightning lesson on Maven, live and recorded, and the recorded labs here are open to everyone.
How much does the buildcamp cost?
Agentic AI Buildcamp for Engineers is $997. A workshop seat is $297. Both are paid once on Maven.
What do I leave with?
The code of the system you built, yours to keep, and a demo day where you show it to people who ask hard questions.
Is it for beginners?
It is for working software engineers who write Python. If agents are new to you, start with the recorded lab Build Your First AI Agent in Python.
How long does it take?
A recorded lab is about ten minutes, a Live Lab one hour and a workshop four hours. The buildcamp runs four weeks, with two live sessions a week.
What if I miss a live session?
Every session is recorded on Maven for everyone who signed up.
Can my company pay?
Yes. Seats are bought on Maven, which gives you a receipt to expense. For a team, private labs are on the page for engineering leaders.
I lead a team. Where do I start?
With the one-day leaders workshop, or the 2-day audit if you want your own codebase reviewed. Both are on the page for engineering leaders.
Who owns the code I write?
You do. Everything you build in a lab, a workshop or the buildcamp is yours to keep and use at work.
Accounts
I bought a course on the old learnwithparam site. Where is it?
Sign in with the same email. Your dashboard still has every course you bought and your progress.
Where did the blog go?
The guides that readers still use are kept at their old addresses and listed on the newsletter page. New writing goes out as the Top 1% Engineers newsletter.
How do I get help with my account?
Email [email protected] from the address you signed up with.
