Application

Launch the Digital Evolution Lab environment.

The underlying interactive environment remains Avida-ED. This route keeps launch, context, and support materials inside evo-edu.org while making the learner and teacher supports easier to find.

Launch notes

Use the application alongside the learner guide and teacher guide. The environment is most useful when learners enter with a clear question, collect observations from runs, and compare outcomes across repeated trials.

What to do first

For learners

Start with a prediction about mutation, selection pressure, or historical contingency.
Run more than one trial so chance remains visible.
Save screenshots or logs as evidence for your explanation.

For instructors

Use the teacher guide to frame the experiment before launch.
Use the standards page to connect the activity to evidence and systems thinking.
Use the about page to keep provenance and model limits explicit.
