Koydo Academy · Field Season
Go where the real work happens.
Each stop in this logbook is a real place. Each one has a tool you can use right now.
The first steps at every field site are free. Use them as often as you like.
Open the logbookThe logbook
Pick a place. Open its instrument. Try the work people do there.
Astronomy and data
Observatory, 2 a.m.
Astronomers stay up all night to catch faint light. Then the real work starts: making sense of the numbers.
Instrument
Solar system explorer
Turn the solar system in 3D. Pick a planet to see what makes it different.
Try the work
Data detective
Find the mean and the median of real-looking data.
Judge the chart
Pick the chart that tells the truth about the data.

Physics and engineering
Clean room
Engineers build spacecraft in rooms kept almost free of dust. Every part has to work the first time.
Instrument
Physics lab
Swing a pendulum, split light with a prism, launch a ball and close a circuit.
Try the work
Circuit builder
Turn each part until the circuit closes.
Energy grid
Keep the power steady as demand goes up and down.
Later in this course
Biology and ecology
Research vessel
Marine scientists dive to count what lives on a reef. Small changes there tell a big story.
Instrument
Biology lab
Look at slides under the microscope and study specimens up close.
Try the work
Cell biology lab
Name each part of the cell and what it does.
Ecosystem balance
Keep a living system in balance, round by round.
Maths and engineering
Bridge site
Inspectors climb a bridge's main cable to check it by hand. The maths has to hold, or the bridge won't.
Try the work
Bridge builder
Choose materials strong enough to span the gap.
Equation solver
Put the steps to solve an equation in the right order.
Later in this course
Chemistry and earth science
Ice camp
Polar teams drill ice that is thousands of years old. The chemistry inside shows how the climate changed.
Instrument
Chemistry lab
Test pH, run a flame test, mix an acid and a base, and separate colours.
Try the work
Chemical bonding lab
Tell ionic bonds from covalent ones.
Periodic table quest
Learn the elements by their numbers.
Academy keeps growing
New tools and courses arrive as they are finished.
