Here are the steps for correctly downloading the workshop notebooks from GitHub and uploading them to Studio.

Download notebook

We publish notebooks as tape archive files (*.tar) at https://github.com/DataStax-Academy/cassandra-workshop-series. These notebook tar files are stored in the notebooks/ folder of each workshop.

For example, week 1 of the workshop series included a "Working with CQL" notebook (3_-_Working_with_CQL.tar). To download this tar file, click on the Raw button:

Upload to Studio

In order to do the exercises for the workshops, you will need to launch Developer Studio:

Step 1 - Go to DataStax Astra.

Step 2 - Click on your killrvideo database.

Step 3 - Click the Launch Now link to launch Developer Studio:

Step 4 - Once you've launched Studio, click on the Add a Notebook icon (with a big + sign):

Step 5 - Click on the Upload tab to upload the notebook tar file you downloaded:

If you've followed these steps correctly, you should be able to start working on the exercises in the notebook. Good luck!
