SPACETRC / OPEN LEARNING LAB
From curiosity to method.
Learn to investigate.
Three introductory tracks, real research briefs and a portfolio you control. Explore the source, practise the method and make your assumptions visible.
Astronomy Foundations
Investigate a scientific question through light, spectra, transits and observation records.
- Use light as a measure
- Measure a spectral shift
- Read a transit light curve
- Preserve observation provenance
Scientific Data Literacy
Work with units, missing values, uncertainty and reproducibility.
- Keep numbers with units
- Summarize a distribution
- Include uncertainty in the result
- Make an analysis reproducible
Space Engineering Foundations
Connect orbits, energy, mass and testable requirements.
- Model a circular orbit
- Build an energy budget
- Examine mass ratio
- Write a testable requirement
A route from learning to inquiry.
Start with a short lesson, test an assumption, then record a project. The prepared challenges remain available whenever you are ready.
