The Non-degree in Mycelium Growth with NetLogo Web at Coursera Project Network is a program for international students taught in English.
The Coursera Project Network is a unique initiative within Coursera, a leading online learning platform founded in 2012. It is not a university, but rather a public, open-access platform that facilitates the creation and delivery of hands-on projects by experts and educators. The Coursera Project Network is distinguished by its focus on practical, project-based learning, enabling learners to apply their skills in real-world scenarios. This approach allows individuals to gain tangible, job-ready skills quickly and efficiently.
Underneath our feet, spreading across the globe, a magnificent being resides. As a living network, it breaks down compounds from minerals and dead plants and animals in the soil (and pollutants as well), only to distribute these nutrients to other living organisms. Therefore, providing the cyclical nature characteristic of Nature. When conditions are right, some of these organisms will fruit into beautiful mushrooms, some of which are incredibly nutritious and with miraculous medicinal properties. The organism described is the Mycelium, or the vegetative part of a fungus organism.In this project we will create an agent based model that simulates possible mechanisms through which fungi mycelium grows, as observed through microscopic lenses. For that we will be working with NetLogo Web, a very powerful online modeling environment. Learns will be introduced to this environment, as well as the basics of the Logo programming language.Note: This project works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
The Coursera Project Network offers a wide range of guided projects across various domains, including business, technology, data science, and more. These projects are designed to be completed in a short time frame, typically a few hours, providing learners with a quick and immersive learning experience. Through step-by-step instructions and hands-on practice, participants can build confidence in their abilities and directly apply what they learn to their personal or professional pursuits. The Coursera Project Network empowers learners to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, making it a valuable resource for skill development and career advancement.
