Congrats on finishing your first CS220 lab! You do not need to submit anything for the labs. The labs are designed to prepare you for the project and help you engage in the lab sessions run by TAs and peer mentors. Your TA will come around to check that you finished and enter your lab attendance points on Canvas.
