Program Your Own COVID-19 Simulator with Scratch

This video tutorial guides viewers on creating a COVID-19 or infectious disease simulator using Scratch. Inspired by real-world simulators, it demonstrates how to program sprite motion, use clones, and simulate disease transmission. The tutorial also covers advanced features like social distancing and encourages viewers to explore further enhancements. Links to written instructions and additional resources are provided.
