Building an Ecosystem model with Insight Maker
In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will create a model that simulates the interrelated dynamics of three different species populations within an environment: plants, deer, and wolves
By doing so, you’ll be introduced to Insight Maker, a free web-based simulation environment that supports both System Dynamics modeling and Agent Based modeling. This will equip you with everything you need to know in order to build tailor-made models and simulations.
Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
