+## How do I prepare for the challenge-bot class?
+
+We will use some software in the challenge-bot class:
+
+* [openSCAD](//www.openscad.org/downloads)
+* [fritzing](//fritzing.org/download/)
+* [arduino ide](//arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)
+
+You can install the software above ahead of time to save time in class,
+ but we will have this available when you get there.
+
+## What should I bring to the challenge-bot class?
+
+Bring your laptop and that's it! Tools and materials are provided at
+ the class.
+
+If you don't have a laptop, we might be able to let you borrow one. Just
+ let us know when you contact us to sign up, and we'll try to help.
