 ### Using Python

-##### Using Python on your own computer
+#### Working on your own computer
 The [Python tutorial](https://github.com/cod3licious/python_tutorial) includes some notes on how to install Python and Jupyter Notebook on your own computer. <br>
 Please make sure you're using Python 3 and all libraries listed in the [`requirements.txt`](/requirements.txt) file are installed and up to date. You can verify this with the [`test_installation.ipynb`](/test_installation.ipynb) notebook.
 
+#### Working in the cloud
+
 ##### Using Google Colab
+
 If you have a Google account, you can also run the code in the cloud using Google Colab:
 [![Open In Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/cod3licious/ml_exercises) <br>
-While Google Colab already includes most packages that we need, should you require an additional library (e.g., `skorch` for training PyTorch neural networks in notebook 5), you can install a package by executing `!pip install package` in a notebook cell. With Colab, it is also possible to run code on a GPU, but this has to be manually selected.

+If you don't have a Google account, you can also use MyBinder, which does not require you to log in:
+[![Open in Binder](https://mybinder.org/badge_logo.svg)](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/cod3licious/ml_exercises/main) <br>
+However, this will take a while to load and might be very slow or even crash due to insufficient RAM for some of the exercises.
