Hey Megan, I really enjoyed this article! Thanks for taking the time to write and share it.
Full disclosure upfront: I work at Gitpod :).
Many of the issues that came up in the first part of the workshop were related to problems students encountered when installing the necessary tools.
With gitpod.io, you can automate the development environment setup. Students can then click a link in the project README.md file to start an ephemeral dev environment. They can fork your repo and push changes to their fork. There's more to it, happy to chat if that sounds interesting.

Neat, I hadn't heard of Gitpod before. I'll have to check it out!
I'd love to hear your feedback, but also please reach out if I can help with anything.
