Colab in class

For this course, using Colab might provide a way to easily collaborate with your class mates in the project.

Getting access

Although Colab is free for everyone, and you can use it within your own Google Drive environment, it is important that you first send an email to the instructor so he can add you to the Google Drive we will use during the Data Science Applications in Agriculture course.
