Adventures in Modeling and the StarLogo Design Discussion Area

Last year we published a book, Adventures in Modeling
(http://education.mit.edu/starlogo/adventures), that introduces
learners of all ages to designing, creating and exploring models in
StarLogo. Adventures in Modeling focuses on a series of open ended
design challenges that build in complexity. It comes with a series of
sample projects, that are available inside of your StarLogo download
folder.

The StarLogo Design Discussion Area (http://education.mit.edu/dda) is
an online forum for posting and discussing StarLogo projects. It may
be used in conjunction with Adventures in Modeling, or simply to share
StarLogo models with other users. There are already hundreds of
proejcts available there to browse and to search. Through the DDA, you
can look at other user's code and use StarLogo models as applets in a
compatible browser.
