Studying the Spread of Diseases with Scratch Programming

Have you ever wondered how scientists predict the spread of viruses like H1N1 and AIDS?

In this workshop you will create healthy and "sick" organisms and watch the sick ones pass on their illness. Then you will run experiments to see how the disease spreads through your population depending on factors like how easily it is caught and how long organisms stay sick. You'll learn the fundamentals of programming using a highly visual and intuitive language called Scratch. No experience required!
