Part 1 gives a high-level and neutral tour of LLMs/Vibe Coding Tools for Web3—how they reason, strengths/limits, and how to evaluate model quality for smart-contract work. (45mins)

Part 2 is a practical workshop: use Nora to go from prompt to deployed Solidity app—scaffolding contracts, tests, basic audits, and front-end hooks. You’ll leave with a working repo, safe “vibe-coding” patterns, and repeatable prompts. (Beginner-friendly, valuable for advanced devs; bring a laptop. 45mins)
