Description
From feedback received during pilot lesson at CC@Home2020: the lesson material could be improved by starting with a more authentic project/code, e.g. a relatively simple Numpy analysis. It was suggested that this would be more likely to reflect the experience of the target audience, and could make the value of tools such as `virtualenv`/a `requirements.txt` file more immediately apparent later in the lesson.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Review the existing lesson material and the pilot feedback described in this issue. Compare its current starting point with a small, authentic NumPy analysis, and assess how that would introduce virtualenv and requirements.txt; done means the lesson has an agreed, revised starting point rather than only a general suggestion.
