-To introduce new Python users to Anaconda workflows. We assume that the majority

+To introduce new Python users to the Python language and the Anaconda
+distribution. This includes the Anaconda Prompt, Spyder, Jupyter, Python
+consoles, and iPython consoles.
+
+## Who should come
+
+This workshop is geared towards anyone who would like systematic knowledge on
+what tools come with Anaconda, including both script-based or the relatively
+new Jupyter notebooks. No previous experience in Python is required -- in fact,
+new Python users are welcomed. We assume that the majority of users are at least
+familiar with Matlab and/or Mathematica.
