High school students are very interested in learning the operational dynamics of many serious systemic problems that face the adult world today. Learning the feedback thinking that is the foundation of System Dynamics modeling and using the STELLA software, students have a new opportunity not only to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics operating within the systemic problems we face, but also to test policies that might eventually mitigate some of the more serious consequences of these problems.

This new method of thinking is based in theory and is gaining momentum as a successful tool to use in analyzing complex systems. It is time we taught all of our elementary and high school students to use this powerful analytical process.

For two decades a high school System Dynamics Modeling course has been taught in Portland, Oregon. The projects displayed here are some of those that have been created within the last six years.
