# AI Makerspace > AI engineering education platform offering bootcamps, certifications, and community resources for building production LLM applications. AI Makerspace provides comprehensive AI engineering education focused on building, shipping, and sharing production Large Language Model (LLM) applications. The platform offers cohort-based bootcamps, self-paced learning resources, and a thriving community for developers looking to become certified AI engineers. Founded by Dr. Greg Loughnane and Chris Alexiuk, the program emphasizes practical, hands-on learning with real-world applications rather than theoretical knowledge. - **AI Engineering Bootcamp** offers intensive cohort-based training with a selective application process to ensure committed participants who want to build production AI applications together. - **Certified AI Engineer Program** provides industry-standard certification for professionals who complete the rigorous training and demonstrate practical AI engineering skills. - **Free Learning Resources** include weekly live workshops, the LLM Edge newsletter, YouTube tutorials, and open-source repositories like the Awesome AIM Index and LLM Foundations courses. - **AI Engineer Challenge** serves as an entry point for newcomers to prove their commitment and get started on the AI engineering path before joining the full bootcamp. - **Custom Training & Consulting** delivers tailored enterprise solutions for teams needing to upskill engineers in AI-assisted development and production AI systems. - **Community-Driven Learning** connects learners through Discord, live events, and collaborative projects where members can share knowledge and support each other's growth. - **Practical Curriculum** focuses on building real applications with regularly updated content tracked through a public changelog, ensuring students learn current best practices. To get started, join the free Discord community, attend weekly live workshops, or take the AI Engineer Challenge to assess your readiness for the full bootcamp program. The platform emphasizes a "Give First" mentality where community members help each other succeed in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. ## Features - AI Engineering Bootcamp - Certified AI Engineer Program - Weekly Live Workshops - LLM Edge Newsletter - AI Engineer Challenge - AI Engineer Onramp - Custom Enterprise Training - Self-Paced Learning Resources - Discord Community - Open Source Curriculum - LLM Foundations Course - Curriculum Changelog ## Integrations Discord, Maven, YouTube, GitHub, Luma ## Platforms WEB ## Pricing Open Source ## Links - Website: https://aimakerspace.io - Documentation: https://github.com/AI-Maker-Space - Repository: https://github.com/AI-Maker-Space - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/ai-makerspace
