Using Conceptual Frameworks of Earth Systems to Frame Future Directions in Systems Thinking Research
Systems thinking is a fundamental geocompetency and developing student conceptualization of the Earth as a system is key to issues facing society. Additionally, systems thinking is a major topic for geoscience education research (GER), an endeavor that has engaged many members of the community for some time. This workshop will explore and build upon findings from a recent synthesis of work on systems thinking in the context of Earth systems (Scherer, et al., 2017), which identified four conceptual frameworks: Earth systems perspective, Earth systems thinking skills, complexity sciences, and authentic complex Earth and environmental systems.

Join us for this free webinar highlighting Model Mysteries, An Exploration of Vampires, Zombies and Other Fantastic Scenarios to Make the World a Better Place. Just released, this resource is a fun, engaging entry point to modeling. Based on a philosophy that “copying” models is a stepping stone to understanding, each chapter provides a guided path to build and then modify a model, applying one generic structure to a variety of contexts. The webinar will demonstrate how these small models can easily be built using Stella® online, shared with others, and used to foster new insights about how systems work.

In HSD we use Pattern Logic and Adaptive Action to see, understand, and influence conditions that shape the conflict. Using Adaptive Action cycles helps you work with patterns and navigate the differences that divide individuals and groups. With HSD models and methods you can find sustainable patterns of interaction that resolve conflicts.

Emerging contexts for systems perspectives in design. The Systemic Design Research Network founded at AHO, Oslo School of Architectural and Design, in partnership with OCAD University, Toronto and is organized by a standing committee of four co-organizers Birger Sevaldson, Peter Jones, Harold Nelson, and Alex Ryan. SDRN is a cooperative association based on both academic and industry relationships, and invites faculty and students worldwide to participate in events and share research. We are a member group of IFSR and host a moderated, open online community. RSD participants are invited to join the online forum, and are welcome to participate with us in future activities: workshops, publishing, symposium events.

“Women bring a different set of skills to the business and industry environment,” said Carolyn Casavan, an entrepreneur engineer. “The problem is there is no metric to measure and value the qualities that they bring.”
The documentary follows five young women over the course of two years as they travel from San Francisco to Mississippi and France to Vietnam to pitch to venture capital entrepreneurs, build teams, bring products to market, fail and start over. The film also features perspectives from the first female engineer at Facebook, Ruchi Sanghvi; White House Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith; GoldieBlox CEO Debbie Sterling; and investor Joanne Wilson. “Women are very good at systems thinking — the architecture of systems,” said Casavan. “They collaborate well, which leads to better product design.”

DynamiQueST is a showcase of the power of simulations and creative student projects that utilize critical thinking skills to analyze complex dynamic systems.
WHO WILL BE THERE? Students (ages 12-18), teachers and parents will participate in the simulation and learn to utilize some of the tools of system dynamics and systems thinking to analyze and clearly communicate critical thinking. Coaches will be there to facilitate both the simulation and the presentation of student projects. JOIN US to play the World Climate Simulation created at MIT and used internationally to facilitate current world climate negotiations. No Experience Needed! Just a desire to delve deeper into real-world challenges. SEE HOW systems thinking and system dynamics (ST/SD) can elucidate both global issues and curricular content.
