Simulating Society with NetLogo!
We had an engaging hands-on session at the IndabaX Spring School with Professor Frank Dignum and Professor Virginia Dignum.

The Segregation Model showed how small individual choices can lead to large societal patterns over time, with real-time visualizations bringing these dynamics to life.
It was a powerful reminder of how agent-based modeling can help us better understand and design real-world systems.

Their project focuses on individuals who are often left out of traditional systems, such as school dropouts and unemployed youth who have the desire to start businesses but lack access to resources, guidance, or funding.
The team proposed a phased approach, starting with Kampala and later expanding across the country, with the aim of reaching more underserved communities over time.
By identifying different user categories and their needs, the solution is designed to provide more targeted support, helping young people move from uncertainty to opportunity.
Their work highlights how AI can be used not just for efficiency, but to create pathways for
