That email server is temporarily down. Send to netlogo@northwestern.edu
Very cool! Are you willing to share the NetLogo code? Also, we are working on biology curricula with NetLogo. Any chance you are interested in contributing?
How do you make complex systems accessible to kids?
Uri Wilensky, creator of #NetLogo, has an answer: let them build and experiment with their own agent-based models using a representation system that is easy-to-learn yet powerful.

Dates have changed to June 29 - July 1. Full announcement coming soon!
The inaugural NetLogo Conference is coming to Chicago, June 22-24, 2026!
Help shape the program β Take our 2-min survey: forms.gle/Zj4VCz6fCEPB...
Join researchers, educators & modelers from around the world for 3 days of ABM innovation & fun. Details: www.netlogo.org/netlogo_con_...
What if one model could realistically predict the economy of an entire country? The entire world? A month-long working group, co-organized by SFI External Professor @doynefarmer.bsky.social, made the case that agent-based models may bring this vision to life:
We are soon to release 7.0.1 and will pin something new, so maybe we'll do this one!
Yeah, that's one way to put it!
Sure! NetLogo was designed to be easy enough to use for children to get started with it, but it is also powerful enough that it used widely in professional research. Happy to answer any more specific questions you have.
Just a quick note: there are only 2 seats left for our βAgent-based and Individual-based Modelling using NetLogoβ course, running online from 27 October β 7 November.

We are incredibly excited to announce that Uri Wilensky, the founder of #NetLogo, has been awarded the prestigious Yidan Prize for Educational Research!

Short explanation:
Sound waves β make plate vibrate β sand jumps around. At certain points, the sine waves cancel out β sand stops there
In the model, you can set "nodes" where there is no vibration. For a real plate, these depend on the shape. e.g.: youtube.com/shorts/jSefO...
New in NetLogo 7: a Chladni Plate model you can run in your browser.
Emergent patterns of sand dancing on sound waves! (explanation below π)
Play with it here and share your favorite pattern!

Great! If you set CORS permisions on your site to allow embeds from netlogoweb.org, you could then embed it in an iframe. Alternatively, you can export the whole thing to a standalone html file which you can host yourself without the CORS issue. You could just link it & people can open in a new tab
These are some very cool materials for learning agent-based modeling applied to archeology!
abmarchaeologists.github.io/ABMA_website
We can use ABMs to theorize about past societies and then compare their outputs to the archeological record.
Very cool! Did you know you could embed a runnable version on your website with NetLogo Web?
We're biased, but we recommend #NetLogo :)
As for arguments, though, the automatic visualization and immediate interactivity really help with verifying your model is actually doing what you intend.
Very cool model! I'm implementing a #NetLogo version, and I have a question: is there a real distinction between h_in vs h_out and Ξ³_in vs Ξ³_out, or could there just be 4 arbitrary traits? Since any link can be harmful or helpful based on harm/help ratio, the traits seem arbitrary.
Very true! We are tool pluralists ourselves. There is a python extension to run python within NetLogo if that is ever something you want to do.
We'd be interested in seeing the code!
I doubt we'll get funding of a billion dollar company, but if you give us a donation, we'll happily help with your cellular automaton! www.netlogo.org/donate/
What advanced features do you need? We're always looking to raise the ceiling of what NetLogo can do
When cats are confidently teaching NetLogo, you know we've built something truly accessible. Modeling literacy for every learner!
Jago is helping me learn about Agent Based Modeling. She's confident in her NetLogo skills.
