"Graphical Programming with StarLogo TNG and open-sourcing StarLogo" TIME: Wednesday, April 4 @ 12:30 p.m. LOCATION: Redfish Conference Room, 624 Agua Fria Street Lunch will be available for $5 purchase ABSTRACT: For years we have been working with students and teachers to help them learn agent based modeling through StarLogo. While we believe the really "hard" problems are conceptualizing models, novices often get bogged down (or intimidated by) the syntax of languages and never make it to those good challenging problems. In an effort to lower the barrier to entry for agent based modeling, we have introduced StarLogo TNG that provides the innovations of a graphical programming language and (almost) 3D world. At the same time the older version of StarLogo has been released under an open source license. We'll talk about both of this lineages in this session. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
