How to Use This Repo

Each module below is a separate repo in the ga-curriculum org. You have two ways to work with it:

GitHub Repo — clone this to work locally, submit homework, or browse the raw files (slides, datasets, starter code).
GitHub Pages — a formatted, readable version of the lesson in your browser. Best for a quick read-through before or after class.

Content types:

Type	What it is
Lesson	Instructor-led teaching content
Lab	Guided, hands-on practice (usually same-day)
Project	A larger, graded deliverable
Resource	Supplementary material (solutions, references, instructor-only notes)

A few lessons are delivered as a Slide Deck instead of a repo — those are marked accordingly and have no Pages/Repo link.
