AI Agent Programming & Training
A few years ago, AI was something you read about. Today it writes code, answers customers, analyzes data, books meetings, and runs entire workflows. The next wave is AI agents: systems that don’t just respond to a question, but reason through a goal, use tools, make decisions, and take action on their own.
Whoever builds and directs these agents will shape how businesses run in the coming decades. At Path School, we think that person could be you, and that you shouldn’t have to wait until college or a first job to start.
Our AI Agent Programming & Training program takes you from curious user to confident builder. You won’t spend months on theory before touching anything real. From the first week, you’ll be building, testing, breaking, and improving agents that solve real problems.
Who this program is for
- Curious beginners who’ve used AI tools and want to understand how they work, with no prior coding experience required
- Young coders who want to level up from basic programming to building intelligent, autonomous systems
- Future founders who want to build AI-powered products without depending on someone else’s technical team
- Creative thinkers who see problems everywhere and want the tools to solve them
If you’re ambitious, willing to experiment, and not afraid to fail on the way to something that works, you belong here.
What you’ll learn and build
Foundations: How modern AI really works
Understand what large language models are, what they’re good at, and where they fail. You’ll learn how to think about AI systems clearly, without hype, so you can build with confidence instead of guesswork.
Prompt design and agent behavior
Learn to give AI precise, effective instructions. You’ll practice designing prompts, writing system instructions, and shaping an agent’s personality, boundaries, and decision-making.
Tools, memory, and multi-step reasoning
An agent becomes powerful when it can do things. You’ll connect agents to tools like search, databases, calendars, and external services, and give them memory so they stay useful over time.
Programming your agents
You’ll write real code (we’ll teach you what you need, starting where you are) to build agents from scratch and orchestrate multi-step workflows that run autonomously.
Training, testing, and evaluation
Building is half the job. You’ll learn how to measure whether your agent actually works, catch mistakes, reduce errors, and improve performance with real data and real feedback.
Responsible AI
Powerful tools demand good judgment. You’ll explore safety, privacy, bias, and ethics so the things you build are trustworthy.
Capstone: Ship a live agent
You’ll finish by launching an AI agent project to real users, solving a problem you chose, and presenting it on Demo Day.
How the program works
What you’ll leave with
- A portfolio of deployed AI projects you can show to employers, investors, universities, and customers
- A practical, honest understanding of how AI systems work and where they break
- The ability to turn an idea into a working product, fast
- A network of peers and mentors in the AI space
- The confidence that comes from having built something real
What students say
“Building an autonomous agent that could research competitors, draft summaries, and alert our team in Slack completely demystified AI for me. Within three weeks, I went from prompting ChatGPT to orchestrating multi-agent systems.”
