Follow along with our Google Colab document, which gives an example set of code. We encourage you to use your own python implementation to follow along, but you can also edit the Colab code itself by clicking File -> Make a Copy. If you're still lost while following along, or if you have questions which aren't answered, watch the corresponding video of a discussion from one of our weekly club meetings.
