# 2017-HIV-Prevalence-Case-Study Building Blocks
Case studies have been used in many disciplines (health sciences, social sciences, engineering and law) to create opportunities to provide learners with immersive environments in which to apply these problem solving skills. Digital case studies provide the additional benefits of interactivity and reproducibility to data science problems, but educators are faced with challenges understanding the ecosystem of tools that can be used to develop them. Over the course of the next few hours, you and your team will develop a simple digital case study based on publically-available data from Botswana. The focus of this case study will center on HIV prevalence in Botswana using three building blocks: Person, Place and Time.
## Interact with the Case Study
You will build a **digital case study** with Jupyter Notebook and Docker. Click on the Binder Notebook link above. Wait a few minutes for the Binder service to complete its setup and launch. Enjoy the rest of the story after you launch the case study.
## Use a custom Docker-based Jupyter Notebook Server (during workshop)
1. Obtain a GitHub account.
2. Note down your GitHub log in credentials (user name and password).
3. The workshop facilitators will guide you during the log in process to this custom Jupyter Notebook server. (You may try to set this up on your local machine using the code from this repository:
github.com. Note you may need to set up Docker and its associated tools to make this happen, and it may require you to have a local machine with the right hardware and software requirements. Local machine set up will not use GitHub authentication by default.)
4. Once you have set up and launched the Docker-based Jupyter Notebook server, and have logged in using your GitHub credentials, launch a terminal from within the Notebook Server, type `cd notebooks` and clone this repository using `git clone
