Area of Interest (AOI)

• Later, when you are interested in quickly making an AOI GeoJSON file for your own area, you can use geojson.io (You can just save this for later): https://geojson.io/#map=15.05/37.42155/-122.17619

• Use this file for the workshop: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StanfordGeospatialCenter/Planet_API_101/main/lakelagunita.geojson (Download it to your machine, then drag&drop it to your Colabs File Panel, once you have the Python Notebook opened)
