+
+[Download the Slides from today](https://github.com/ubc-cs/cpsc203/raw/main/files/Lec12_DataStructures.pdf)
+
## Important links for today:
- [Guide to python data structures](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-data-structures/)
+- [Deque](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/deque-in-python/)
+
+## Logistics
+
+1. Jupyter Lab
+
+For class today, you will need to install JupyterLab because we'll be using an `.ipynb` file to use the `%%timeit` cell-magic.
+You can do this by running the following command in the Terminal:
+
+```
+conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab
+```
+
+You can then run `jupyter lab` in the Terminal to launch a JupyterLab instance.
+
+### Clone the Class Activity Repository
+
+You will first need to "accept" the GitHub Classroom assignment to get a copy of the starter code.
+
+You can do that by [clicking here](https://classroom.github.com/a/o6D2NVBz).
+
+Then, clone the `classActivity08A` repository by running the following line in your Terminal:
+
+```
+git clone
+```
+
