Standards

The Pandem-Sim project addresses these important goals:
  • Improve science education using highly engaging approaches to teaching and learning that include new technologies.
  • Increase science literacy among high school students taking integrated science, biology, health, anatomy/physiology, or related classes.
Specifically, we seek to increase knowledge and understanding of:
  1. Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases
  2. Bacterial and viral classification and structure
  3. Pathogen transmission mechanisms impacting human populations
  4. The human immune response
  • Promote career awareness for biomedical fields among the target population.
  • Create a program with the potential for widespread use.
  • Create a program that considers the needs of underrepresented and underserved groups.

Please note: The specific science standards addressed in this section apply to the entire Pandem-Sim project as a whole. Not all standards apply to the live simulation or any other single component of the project.
