Week 6 of 8

AI-Assisted Professional Development

Learn how professional developers actually work with AI.

This week is extremely important because AI Makers Academy should not teach students to blindly copy AI-generated code.

What You'll Learn

  • Git workflows
  • Branches
  • Commits
  • Pull requests
  • Code reviews
  • Debugging
  • Testing
  • Reading AI-generated code
  • Finding AI mistakes
  • Refactoring
  • Improving application architecture
  • Using AI for documentation
  • Using AI for security reviews

The AI Developer Workflow

Students practice:

PLAN → PROMPT → BUILD → REVIEW → TEST → DEBUG → IMPROVE

rather than:

PROMPT → COPY → PASTE

Challenge

Students receive an intentionally flawed AI-generated application and must:

  • Find the problems
  • Understand the code
  • Debug it
  • Fix it
  • Test it

By the End of Week 6

You will know how to use AI as a powerful development assistant while still understanding and controlling the code you ship.
