​Got an app idea but don’t know how to code? Bring your idea. Let’s start building.

​Join this live, hands-on workshop and discover Lovable, a tool that turns plain-language instructions into web applications.

​In two hours, you’ll get to know the tool and build a first version of your project, with 50 minutes of hands-on practice and live support, no coding experience needed.

​💻 Fully online · Delivered in English · Join from anywhere

​🚀 What you’ll build and learn

• ​From idea to interface: turn a description into an app with pages, buttons, and forms.

• ​Prompts that work: learn to ask the AI for changes and improve your app step by step.

• ​Data and functionality: explore database integration to store information and make your app useful.

• ​Design and testing: customize your app’s appearance and test its core features.

• ​Publishing and sharing: learn to put your project online and share it with your first users.

​🎒 What do you need?

​No idea yet? We’ll help you choose one to get started.

​❓Frequently Asked Questions

​Do I need any coding or AI experience?

​No. We’ll start from scratch and use everyday language to tell Lovable what to build. You’ll learn how to give clear instructions, check the results, and improve your app step by step.

​Can I join without an app idea?

​Absolutely. We’ll help you choose a simple project, such as a sign-up page, a directory, or a small tool to simplify your day. A small, useful idea is a great starting point.

​Do I need to install anything beforehand?

​No installation is needed: Lovable runs in your browser. Bring a computer and a stable internet connection. Creating a free Lovable account beforehand can save time, but the workshop includes a setup session.

​What can I realistically build in two hours?

​The goal is a first version of a small web app, not a finished product with every feature. With 50 minutes of hands-on building, focusing on one main function will help you leave with something you can test and develop further.

​Is the workshop really free, and what’s included?

​Yes. Your free ticket includes the workshop, live support during the building session, project sharing, learning resources, and one month of Lovable Pro plus 115 credits.

​What are credits, and how far will 115 credits go?

​Credits are Lovable’s usage allowance. Building and editing with AI consumes credits, with the amount depending on the request. There isn’t a fixed number of features or changes you can build with 115 credits, so we’ll focus on clear prompts and manageable steps.

​Will I need to buy a domain or hosting to share my project?

​No. You can publish your project to a free Lovable web address and share the link. Features such as databases and in-app AI have usage limits and can incur additional costs as your app grows.

​Can I build a mobile app?

​This workshop focuses on web apps, which you can design to work on both computers and mobile browsers. Publishing an app to the Apple App Store or Google Play requires additional steps beyond publishing a Lovable web app.

​What if I get stuck or don’t finish my project?

​That’s what the hands-on support is for. We’ll help you refine your idea, improve your prompts, and work through challenges. You can continue after the workshop using the resources and next steps provided.

​Can I join if I’m not based in Coimbra?

​Yes. The workshop is fully online and delivered in English, so you can join from anywhere.

​Can I use what I build for my portfolio or business?

​Yes. Your project can become a portfolio piece or a starting point for testing a business idea. Treat it as a first version: test its features and review privacy and security before using it with real customers or sensitive information.
