This project aimed to utilize agent-based modeling in NetLogo to create a simulation of COVID-19 spread in a traditional college classroom. The model allows for an evaluation of different preventative measures implemented by the University of Pittsburgh, including the cohort attendance model, mask and vaccine mandates, contact tracing, and classroom sanitation. Through the use of the model's interactive interface, the impact of adjusting specific variables can be visualized and analyzed, providing a valuable tool for combating diseases that spread through droplet transmission.

Description

The model is available to download in NetLogo.
