Anthropic and CodePath announce partnership that will redesign its curriculum around Claude
Anthropic has announced a new partnership with non-profit CodePath, which provides coding courses to higher education institutions.
The new partnership will redesign CodePath’s coding curriculum, putting Anthropic’s LLM Claude and Claude Code “at the center” of its courses and career programs.
Claude will be integrated into CodePath courses including Foundations of AI Engineering, Applications of AI Engineering, and AI Open-Source Capstone.
More than 20,000 students at community colleges, state schools and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) will be given access to AI tools through their education through the new partnership.
CodePath says that more than 40 percent of its users come from families earning less than $50,000 a year. It aims to provide these students with access to career networks and opportunities usually reserved for students at wealthier institutions.
“We now have the technology to teach in two years what used to take four,” comments Michael Ellison, Co-Founder and CEO of CodePath. "But speed for some and not others just widens inequality. Partnering with Anthropic means our students learn to build with Claude from day one, at institutions that have historically been overlooked. This results in better outcomes for our students and a fundamentally different answer to who gets to shape the AI economy."
As part of the partnership, Anthropic and CodePath say they will also work together on public research into how AI is reshaping coding education and economic opportunities.
