The exercise for this week is meant to:

1. reflect your thoughts about Sustainability and Spatial Data Science,
2. and help you get going with Python and learn to use our course environment.

You will practice saving changes to your files using Git and GitHub. You will also get to practice the Markdown syntax. If using Git, GitHub and Python is familiar to you, GOOD, then this Exercise should be fairly straightforward for you. But if not, then this is a good "warm up" Exercise to get you going.

For each week, you will have a short written assignment based on the topic of the week (based on slides + other materials) and typically a couple of programming assignments that helps you to apply the SDS methods taught at a given week.

This part is only for registered students at Aalto. We have sent an invite link to Slack to all registered participants before the first lesson. Please contact the course instructors via email in case you are registered for the course, but don’t have access to Slack.

1. Go to our Slack page at https://AaltoSDS2021.slack.com.
