## Motivational Slides

Every lesson must include a short slide deck in `motivation.md` suitable for a short
presentation (3 minutes or less) that the instructor can use to explain
to learners how knowing the subject will help them.  The slides must
use level-2 headings as slide titles, but may use anything within the slide:

    ---
    layout: slides
    title: Lesson Title
    subtitle: Motivation

    ## Our Mission

    We make scientists and engineering more productive
    by teaching them basic computing skills.


    ## The Problem

    - Surveyed 1972 scientists in 2008.
    - "How do you use computers?"
    - "How did you learn what you know?"

**Notes:**

1.  We use [deck.js](http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/) for our slides
    as it is simpler and prettier than alternatives like
    [reveal.js](http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/).

    [slideshow repository](https://github.com/swcarpentry/slideshows).
