### 📅 Week 2 Focus: Data, EDA & Features
Now that your project is set up, it’s time to get your hands dirty with real data.
This week is all about:

📊 Running quick EDA to understand the shape and story of your data
🧠 Starting basic feature engineering to prep for modeling
You don’t need perfect data — just enough to explore, learn, and iterate. Let’s dig in!========================================================================
