 * Preface
 ** What is ClojureBridge?
 
-- This workshop is aimed specifically at women. Why? In the past 7
-  years of my engineering career I have seen the disparity in the
-  gender ratio at all the companies I have worked with. In some teams,
-  I was the only female developer. In some teams, I was the only
-  female. I have never had a female mentor before. But, I have also
-  seen companies change, grow, become more aware of this issue, and
-  find ways to fix it. This is a small attempt towards that. Getting
-  more females to learn programming, learn Clojure and do awesome
-  things that come with ability to command a computer.

 - Let's start a REPL. and we can type and evaluate things as we go on
   learning them.
 
+*** How to open a REPL in VSCode
+- Open command palette using: `ctrl+shift+P` or `cmd+shift+P`
+- Write `Calva: Start a project REPL`
+- Select the project and tool accordingly
+- Once the REPL is up, navigate to the line you want to evaluate and
+  press `alt+enter` (`opt+enter` for mac)

 - As a first thing, type `nil` in your REPL, and see what it returns.
-  - `nil` is the most basic value in Clojure, it represents emptiness,
-    nothing-doing, not-a-thing.

+Structural editing is a method of manipulating code based on its syntactic structure, 
+rather than its text representation.
+It allows for operations like moving, wrapping or editing code blocks as discrete units.
