258The title <span class="highlight">Now What? - A Call to Action</span> draws us into one of the most important questions of our time. The world faces a decision point in the 21st Century. Major “Environmental Systems”
259are becoming so stressed that our future quality of life may decline after hundreds of years of growth and development. But strategies and choices exist that lead to a happier outcome.</p>
260               <p class="p_text text-left" style="padding-right:7px">
261    These environmental systems lessons contain activities and research about sustainability, land, air, and water for students to explore. Systems thinking tools help them discover ways to create an environment for the future that has the ability to regenerate as well as sustain. Because “the environment” is not a single, isolated system, all aspects of civilization are bound together in an interconnected web. Social justice, public health, and economic prosperity all depend on a healthy environment that is consistently regenerating.

328                      <p>COVID seems to be an on-going and persistent issue that has a lifecycle far longer than anyone thought when it emerged on the scene.  An interesting initiative was started by Maurice Glucksman and Kim Warren in the UK.  They created a contest for students to look at the spread of COVID within their localized areas. They created a system dynamics model and on-line courses for students to learn and utilize the model without needing to learn sophisticated modeling skills.</p><p>  These courses and articles are available at <a href="https://covid-19-localisation-modelling.thinkific.com/" target="_blank">The COVID-19 Localization Modelling Group</a>. </p>

350                <p>One of the underutilized powers of system dynamics and systems thinking is the use of the SD/ST tools to aid learning through meta-cognition. Using SD/ST tools helps students gain perspective of what they are thinking -- creating a powerful learning environment. In this activity, an experienced systems educator uses a goal-seeking loop to teach robotics.<p>

Caffeine in these drinks can also stay in the body for longer than you might think. Explore how different choices affect caffeine levels in the body over a 24 hour period!

519             <p>The CLE is pleased to announce the development of some new system dynamics apps.  These simple, fun and engaging apps are ready for use on phones, tablets, or Chromebooks.  They are quick to use and create excellent insight for all ages.</p>
520                <p>These apps are based on the Demo Dozen models created by <a href="http://www.clexchange.org/curriculum/doc_
520search.asp?category=alldocs&searchstring=Jeff+Potash">Jeff Potash</a> and <a href="http://www.clexchange.org/curriculum/doc_search.asp?category=alldocs&searchstring=john+heinbokel">John Heinbokel</a> and developed in a collaboration among the <a href="http://www.clexchange.org">Creative Learning Exchange</a>, the Center for Interdisciplinary Excellence in System Dynamics, and <a href="http://www.learnwithbtn.com" target="_blank">BTN</a>. </p>

The day-long event at WPI was a success, with a variety of student projects, lively conversation and learning.</p>
538                
539                <p>Students participated in a large scale climate change simulation as well as presented their own work. This combination fostered an energetic learning environment as they learned the global power of system dynamics as well as experiencing what challenges their peers where tackling.</p>
