+## Pre-Workshop Checklist
+
+Before attending the workshop, please ensure that you have the required prerequisites installed and configured properly. Follow the steps below to verify your setup.
+
+### Repository Update
+
+Make sure that you have cloned the repository. You can see instructions on how to do so on the [Getting Started](../README.md#getting-started) section of main page of this repository.
+
+If you have already done that, ensure you have the latest content from the repository.
+
+1. Open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you have cloned the repository.
+2. Run the following command to update your remote references:
+    ```bash
+    git remote update
+    ```
+3. Check the status of your branch with this command:
+    ```bash
+    git status -uno
+    ```
+    - If your branch is up to date, you will see:  ```Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.```
+    - If your branch is not up to date, you will see a message like: ```Your branch is behind 'origin/main' by X commits...```
+4. If your branch is behind, update it with:
+    ```bash
+    git pull
+    ```
+
+### Conda Installation
+
+Verify that Conda is installed and you can activate environments.
+
+1. Check the Conda version:
+    ```bash
+    conda --version
+    ```
+    - You should see an output similar to:
+        ```
+        conda X.Y.Z
+        ```
+    - Example:
+
+        <img src="../assets/conda-version.jpg" alt="Conda version" width="300">
+
+2. Test environment activation:
+    - Activate the base Conda environment:
+        ```bash
+        conda activate
+        ```
+        - You should see `(base)` appended before your username in the terminal.
+        - Example:
+        
+            <img src="../assets/conda-activate.jpg" alt="Base Environment Activation" width="300">
+    - Deactivate the base Conda environment:
+        ```bash
+        conda deactivate
+        ```
+
+This checklist will help ensure that you have the necessary setup for a smooth workshop experience. If you encounter any issues, please check out the [Troubleshooting Guide](../03-troubleshooting-guides/README.md) or reach out to the workshop organizers for further assistance.

+# Setting Up a Python Virtual Environment Using `venv`
+
+This guide will help you set up a Python virtual environment using `venv` and the `requirements.txt` file provided in this GitHub repository.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **Install Python**
+    
+    Ensure you have Python 3.8 or newer installed. You can download Python from the [official Python website](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
+   
+      - [MacOS](https://www.python.org/downloads/macos/)
+      - [Windows](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/)
+      - [Linux](https://www.python.org/downloads/source/) (or use your distribution's package manager)
+
+2. **Clone the repository**
+
+   Ensure you have cloned the repository by following the steps in the [Getting Started section of the main README](../README.md#getting-started) of this repo.
+
+   Once you have cloned the repo, open up your terminal to navigate to the directory of the repo in your local machine.
+
+   ```bash
+   cd class-workshop-researchdev-copilot
+   ```
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Create the virtual environment**
+
+   Create a new virtual environment in a directory named `gh-cp-venv`:
+
+   ```bash
+   python -m venv gh-cp-venv
+   ```
+
+2. **Activate the virtual environment**
+
+   Activate the virtual environment using the appropriate command for your operating system:
+
+   On Windows:
+   ```bash
+   gh-cp-venv\Scripts\activate
+   ```
+
+   On MacOS/Linux:
+   ```bash
+   source gh-cp-venv/bin/activate
+   ```
+
+3. **Install dependencies**
+
+   Install the required packages using pip and the requirements.txt file:
+
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+4. **Verify the Installation**
+
+    To ensure that all the packages are installed correctly, you can list the installed packages:
+
+    ```bash
+    pip list
+    ```
+
+4. **Complete**
+
+    Now you should be ready to use your newly created virtual environment in VS Code!
+    
+    VS Code should automatically detect your virtual environment. You can select it as your Python interpreter by:
+    1. Opening the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P)
+    2. Typing "Python: Select Interpreter"
+    3. Choosing the interpreter from the `gh-cp-venv` directory
