I think we're going to have an issue getting the beginners to "the fun stuff" before time runs out. I had my boyfriend go through the command line navigation and that took about 10 minutes. I'm assuming each part i've created is going to take between 10 - 20 minutes depending on the user. At that pace, we might not get very far. Any ideas about how to speed things up? We can try to edit my articles for wordiness, but it's a LOT to teach in 2 hours. I've begun adding a section to the bottom of each article to add some things to the game to make it "playable", but it still feels like a really tight timeline for the beginners. Django Girls has an advantage here in that they get to make a rudimentary website within the first couple of hours. We need a better payoff I feel like, but it's hard to get to one in 2 hours from SCRATCH. Open to thoughts here!!

Sorry, was busy writing the classes tutorial. I'll look over it tomorrow at lunch and let you know.
