Quests

Quests are trails through the valley. Each one strings together pages across the LocoLabo sites toward something you can actually do: run a model, wake an old GPU, or add a measured result.

Clicking a step’s link counts it as visited. A few steps happen on your own machine, so you tick those yourself. Progress and badges are saved in this browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere, and there is no account.
