+    **Quickstart: Importing and using the SHTC3 temperature and humidity sensor**
+
+        Here is one way of importing the `SHTC3` class so you can use it with the name ``sht``.
+        First you will need to import the helper libraries to use the sensor
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            import busio
+            import board
+            import adafruit_shtc3
+
+        Once this is done, you can define your `busio.I2C` object and define your sensor
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
+            sht = adafruit_shtc3.SHTC3(i2c)
+
+        Now you have access to the temperature and humidity using the :attr:`measurements`.
+        it will return a tuple with the :attr:`temperature` and :attr:`relative_humidity`
+        measurements
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            temperature, relative_humidity = sht.measurements
