With the advent of COVID-19, major media outlets and health organizations have been eager to provide projections on the spread of infectious disease through a population based on different variables. This report outlines two activities for leveraging the global interest in COVID-19 to (i) encourage students to explore simulations and data presentation, and (ii) develop models of complex systems using a block-based coding platform (StarLogo Nova). The activities may be used independently or paired to build upon each other.

复杂时间内的复杂系统：使用在线模型研究传染病传播和代码复杂系统仿真的两项灵活活动。

随着COVID-19的出现，主要的媒体和卫生组织都渴望根据不同的变量对传染病在人群中的传播情况做出预测。本报告概述了两项活动，以利用全球对COVID-19的兴趣，以（i）鼓励学生探索模拟和数据表示，以及（ii）使用基于块的编码平台（StarLogo Nova）开发复杂系统的模型。这些活动可以独立使用，也可以配对使用。
