Preventing Outbreaks through Interactive, Experiential Real-Life Simulations

 Operation Outbreak (OO) is a simulation platform that teaches students how pathogens spread and the impact of interventions, thereby facilitating the safe re-opening of schools. In addition, OO generates data to inform epidemiological models and prevent future outbreaks. Before SARS-CoV-2 was reported we repeatedly simulated a virus with similar features, correctly predicting many human behaviors later observed during the pandemic.
