Section type: Passive. This section is presenter-led with no dedicated hands-on try-time. Attendees begin the login process during the talk, but there is no separate try block or discussion round; hands-on work begins in Section 2.
This section covers the opening 30 minutes of the workshop: a 10-minute BriCS introduction (delivered by BriCS staff), followed by login and a lightweight system overview while attendees get connected.
Files in this section:
00-pre-session.markdown— pre-session arrival slide (09:30–10:00 display), portal slide, login-start choreography, VS Code signpost, and follow-along contingency.

Adaptation notes:
- This workshop is for Isambard 3, not Isambard AI.
- Isambard 3 is CPU-only and uses Arm/aarch64.
- Keep the system overview light; defer hands-on commands to Section 2.
- The 10-minute BriCS introduction at the start of this section is delivered by BriCS staff; its content is not managed here.
