First, rename the Script to something that describes what it will do. Next, open the Query window by clicking the button next to the Query property:

This will open the Query Editor where you can type in your script as in the example below:

Once you have applied the script, you can try to run the project:

The newly added column is now visible in your Data Model and can be used to e.g. create a new dimension:
