Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Daniel Wendel from MIT will be Skyping in to present. He will be talking about their BioGraph project, an NSF-funded effort to study the impact of complex systems understanding and computational thinking (by way of making and using StarLogo TNG models) in introductory Biology classes.  He will talk about tools and curriculum, their original experimental design, and the modifications they've had to make to get the teacher buy-in needed.
