JupyterHub programming environment with student Notebooks

High Schools may want to consider JupyterHub to integrate coding with dynamic interactive graphing — A New Way to Think About Programming — allowing students to integrate science experiment results and program output within their notebook/document/blog:

• Jupyter Notebooks are widely used in the scientific community.
• This IIAB package permits individual users to start using their own notebook on the server (http://box.lan/jupyterhub) without needing an individual server account.
• Once a user signs in with a username and password, these credentials are stored, and are used thereafter to gain access to the user's files.
• Individual folders are created for all student work in the path /var/lib/protected/ — individual students will only be able to see their own work in that directory.
• Students will not have any privileges outside of their own folder.
• They may upload Jupyter Notebooks from a local machine, and download the current state of their work via a normal browser download.
