Modeling apprenticeships

Sit inside a live project: problem framing, causal structure, equation writing, and tests against behavior over time.

Learning-laboratory design

Turn a finished model into scenarios, a debrief, and a multi-attribute score a non-modeler can use.

Human-subjects work

With the learning scientists: does practice in the simulator improve systems thinking, consensus, or decision quality?

Mini-course path

Students who are new to system dynamics can move from novice toward independent modeling through the Lab’s self-directed sequence.

Openings are posted with WPI academic departments as projects are funded. If you already have a wicked problem and a term to spend on it, write to the Lab.
