Before starting the work to deliver the workshop/hackathon, review all the content of the Hackathon Starter Kit.
The challenge is to go from a prompt (explanation of what the contract should do in natural language) to a contract deployed in the Preview testnet.
- The workshop starts with an explanation of what Cardano, smart contracts, and Marlowe are (see README's outline).
- Then, one of the instructors showcases the steps to go from prompt to deployed contract.
- Then, the challengers try to go from prompt to deployed smart contract for a contract of similar difficulty (easy).
- If there's enough time, the instructors introduce another (slightly harder) prompt.
- Keep repeating the previous step with harder and harder prompts until you run out of time. These are the prompts -> contracts. It's preferable to use them in that order.
- Congratulate everyone, and if there's a prize, give it to the person/s who completed the most smart contracts (Or the one that finished first if you run out of challenges before the deadline).
