Something broke with `!pip install pybamm` over the past week.

I’m hosting a Jupyter Notebook to demo pybamm with a live course I’m currently running. Students have reported no issues with running the notebook until a few days ago.

Now, we encounter a `ModuleNotFound` error related to the numpy installation

> **[Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/github/wengandrew/cell-design/blob/main/notebooks/power_vs_energy.ipynb)**

Are you able to reproduce the issue and figure out a workaround?

What could be happening?

This issue is resolved.

tl;dr Google Colab was the issue; switched to Binder
