Novices will find it an easy-to-learn language with a very intuitive graphical interface. NetLogo is\u00a0simple enough\u00a0that students and teachers can easily design and run simulations, and advanced enough to serve as a powerful tool for researchers in many disciplines. NetLogo can be used to teach\u00a0programming, computational thinking,\u00a0simulation, model building, and understanding of complex phenomena through models in many different domains.<br \/>\nIt serves as a good entry point to more general-purpose programming languages like C and Python<\/p>\n<p><strong>Features of NetLogo:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open-source and free.<\/li>\n<li>Easy to learn.<\/li>\n<li>Interactive code.<\/li>\n<li>Visual and intuitive output.<\/li>\n<li>A rich library of interactive simulations.<\/li>\n<li>Science\/Math-based tutorials and examples.<\/li>\n<li>Well-researched for its educational value.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Integration with Syllabus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Incorporating geometry with NetLogo Programming enables students to create and explore geometric shapes interactively, making geometry more engaging and accessible, especially for those who find traditional approaches challenging. Since the programming language was also designed with science and engineering researchers in mind, it can be easily integrated with science and math concepts that students learn in school. For example, students can learn to simulate population growth, the effect of tree density in the spread of a forest fire, or the motion of a projectile in the presence of wind. So not only do the students learn how to code, but the examples they learn will also give them a better understanding of various math and science concepts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is it for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Students who are looking for a career in science, engineering, computer science, biology, social science, and economics.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1712733518567{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]<strong>Research:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When NetLogo is used as modeling tool by students, it\u00a0\u201cpromotes several processes of reasoning that are central to science: developing original hypotheses, formalizing ideas, researching existing solutions, and critical analysis of results.\u201d\u00a0(Wilensky &amp; Reisman 2006:205)<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, we also can find a &#8220;learning through building&#8221; approach that is popular in engineering sciences:\u00a0\u201cIf you can\u2019t build it, then you don\u2019t under-stand it. Our approach of modeling underlying mechanisms takes the engineer\u2019s dictum seriously. To model a system, it is not sufficient to understand only a handful of isolated facts about it. Rather, one must understand many facts and concepts about the system and, most important, how these relate to each other.The process of modeling is inherently about developing such conceptual relations and seeking out new facts and concepts when a gap in one\u2019s knowledge is discovered.\u201d\u00a0(Wilensky &amp; Reisman 2006:202)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing the NetLogo language, students and researchers have constructed large numbers of models of complex phenomena in the natural and social worlds. The Models Library that comes with NetLogo covers phenomena in biology, chemistry, physics, earth science economics, history, sociology, business, medicine and a variety of other domains. These models can be explored and revised as part of model-based inquiry in middle, secondary and undergraduate classrooms as well as serving as the basis for research in more advanced settings.\u201d\u00a0(Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling (CCL), retrieved March 2019).<\/p>\n<p>NetLogo is an nice environment to teach computational thinking. Since\u00a0<em>digital<\/em>\u00a0literacy and thinking has become hot topic again, e.g. mandatory in many curricula, interest for NetLogo should rise the following years. It is more than a programming environment and as such suitable for integrated pedagogic approaches that marry informatics, method, mathematics, domains-specific knowledge,etc. &#8211;\u00a0Daniel K.
