-				AstroHackWeek is primarily a Hackathon.
-				There are detailed statistics, machine learning, software development workshops, courses, and resources
-				out
-				there that we don't want to recreate. We have included a list of some examples at <a href=#other_resources>the end of this
-				page</a>,
-				so this unconference is not meant to be a place to learn the basics on how
-				to use computing tools (e.g. git, Python).
+				AstroHackWeek 2024 will be more of a Hackathon and less of a summer school. Our target participants are advanced 
+				graduate students, postdocs and researchers who work at the intersection of statistics, machine learning, software
+				development and big data in astronomy or related fields as well as applications of methods from other fields to astronomical datasets. 
 				We do not expect all participants to be expert coders, and we encourage you to apply to the workshop
 				regardless of your coding experience level.
+				If you are still looking to learn about these topics, we have included a list of <a href=#other_resources>the end of this
+				page</a> but we do not expect to be covering introductory-level materials this year.
