Simpocalypse

Simpocalypse is a computer model designed to allow you to create your own disease by setting the parameters that control the model, run a simulation, and analyze the data. You can make up an imaginary disease, or try to model a real one. Simpocalypse can be used as an educational tool to teach students about the spread of infectious diseases, to produce data for teaching statistical concepts such as regression, or even to generate discussion on the societal and economic effects of pandemics, or the history of infectious disease.

A disease designer and agent-modelling tool for education from the Delta College STEM Explorer.
