On Thursday 15 July, Daniel Peart, Chelsea Hunter, Ian Hamilton, and Mark Moritz led a workshop on agent-based modeling using NetLogo for the 2021 Data Science for Women Summer Camp organized by the Translational Data Analytics Institute at the Ohio State University. In two-and-half hours, high-school students learned about complex systems and agent-based modeling, developed their own infectious diseases model in NetLogo, and ran experiments to see what happens when the disease characteristics change or agents move less. One of the best quotes from one of the students, "I thought I didn’t like coding, but I liked this a lot!!"
