| 23 | +## Jargon Busting |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +This exercise is an opportunity to gain a firmer grasp on some concepts related to data, code or software development in libraries. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +1. Pair with a neighbor or small group and decide who will take notes. |
| 28 | +2. Talk for three to five minutes about any terms, phrases, or ideas related to code, data, or software development that you've come across and perhaps feel you should know better. |
| 29 | +3. Have the note-taker compile your list of problematic terms, phrases, and ideas. |
| 30 | +4. Now in a larger group (or with everyone in the workshop) spend 5 to 10 minutes working together to try to explain what some of those terms, phrases, or ideas on your list mean. You can use other people in the room/Zoom, the Carpentries' Glosario below, and other internet research to learn more about the terms. |
| 31 | +5. The instructor will collate terms and explanations on a whiteboard or Etherpad and facilitate a discussion about what we will cover today and where you can go for help on things we won't cover. |

| 33 | +### [Carpentries Glosario (English)](https://glosario.carpentries.org/en/) |
| 34 | +While there's not a single site that will include *every* term that workshop attendees bring to the table, the Carpentries' glossary is a great starting place for computing and data science terms. [Glosario includes multilingual glossaries](https://glosario.carpentries.org/), as well. |
