Each notebook includes its own setup, first-principles introductions and supplied data, and needs only Python's standard library: no model, download or key. Unit B ships a real embedding model's vectors for its questions. Open either notebook in Google Colab with its badge (Colab runs Python 3.12), or use a local Python 3.12+ Jupyter kernel. No repository checkout, previous notebook kernel or live account is needed. Unit B can use an explicitly selected successful Unit A handoff; an invalid selected file refuses rather than substituting an answer.
Ninety minutes is the planned work allowance per unit. Actual completion time and understanding require classroom observation.
