As discussed in a recent GLAM Wiki call - a lot of folks may not know that we have a powerful Python execution capability in the Wikimedia PAWS installation at http://paws.wmcloud.org/.
It's a great first-step for anyone who wants to get started in hacking and coding, but could benefit from some a gentle introduction and hand-holding.
A session that provides a quick introduction to PAWS/Jupyter notebooks as a way to play with Wikimedia content may be a good way to help break down the barriers. We won't be able to make full "coders" out of folks in two days, but we can try to demystify things for those new to coding and show them we have a great environment for experimentation.

### Session Details
**Short description of the session (~150 words):**
//Describe what your session is about//Most folks may not know that we have a powerful Python execution environment in the Wikimedia PAWS installation at http://paws.wmcloud.org/. It allows ordinary folks to write interactive scripts to work with Wikimedia content.
**Target audience:**It's a great first-step for anyone who wants to get started in hacking and coding.
An introductory session could provide a quick overview of PAWS/Jupyter notebooks as a way to play with Wikimedia content may be a good way to help break down the barriers. We won't be able to make full "coders" out of folks in two days, but we can try to demystify things for those new to coding and show them we have a great environment for experimentation.
//Who is this session most relevant to? For example:**Target audience:** new contributors, maintainers, documentarianstors, first-time attendeespeople wanting to code for the first time, etc.//or even experienced Python folks who want a free/fast execution environment
**What will participants get out of this session? (~50 words)**
//Think about the end-goals of this session//Participants will understand how Python Jupyter notebooks work, and how the Wikimedia PAWS installation can help folks write bots, scripts or other tools.
**(Optional) Additional resources:**
//Share any documentation or links where participants can learn more about the session topics//
