Modeling and experiments to better understand rural livelihoods decision-making
Want to do it yourself?
We've organized tools below that we hope will help you get going on a game or modeling project of your own.
If you get stuck, or if you have ideas of how these learning resources could be more helpful, reach out.
Building a model?
We have a number of agent-based modeling examples built for workshops and courses, with varying degrees of documentation, testing and support.
These might be helpful to those thinking about problems that align closely with the models shared, but also for those new to modeling and struggling to get past the blank page and knowing where to start.

Need more?
We regularly host 2-3 day workshops on the design of games as experimental tools, with some time spent on the technical skills development of building and implementing games.

If you would be interested to join or host a workshop, let us know! In the meantime, you might find our games builder guide and Netlogo games template useful to get started.
