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.

What is the purpose of the disease simulator mentioned in the video?

How does the simulation demonstrate the concept of 'flattening the curve'?

What are the two states represented by the costumes of the Sprite in the simulation?

Explain the significance of using a variable for speed in the simulation.

What method is used to create multiple clones of the Sprite in the simulation?

What is the importance of using custom blocks in Scratch programming as mentioned in the video?

Describe how the simulation handles the infection spread among Sprites.

What additional features could be implemented to enhance the simulation's realism?

What is the role of the 'social distancing' function in the simulation?

How does the simulation illustrate the impact of social distancing on infection spread?
