Project GUTS’ COVID-19 Modeling Challenge

Description

We are faced with a tremendous amount of news and information about COVID-19. One way to respond is to try to better understand the spread of coronavirus and strategies to contain its spread. Work together with the Project GUTS team to see what we can learn! 

As part of the COVID-19 Modeling Challenge, young learners will learn how to model the spread of COVID-19 using StarLogo Nova.

Topics:
Computer Science, Engineering, Math, Science, Technology
Grades:
6-8, 9-12

Project GUTS (Growing Up Thinking Scientifically) is an integrated science and computer science program for middle school students, whose mission is to prepare students for future endeavors in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Computing by providing them with opportunities to build scientific inquiry skills and use technology to explore real-world problems! 

Growing up thinking scientifically means learning to look at the world and to ask questions, developing and using computer models that help answer questions through scientific inquiry, and using critical thinking to assess which ideas are reasonable and which are not. As part of the COVID-19 Modeling Challenge, young learners will learn how to model the spread of COVID-19 using StarLogo Nova. Check out this guided introduction to StarLogo Nova and get started today!
