- What is modeling?
Have you ever thought about how bridges, tunnels, buildings and even dog houses are built? Well the answer is modeling. Modeling is the "simplification" of reality. It helps in so many things, like:
- Describing real world phenomena
- Investigating important questions about the world
- Testing ideas
- Making predictions about the real world
- Visualizing something we want to build in the future.
This diagram can help you understand.
For example, an architect can use modeling in order to help him first visualize how his building can look like and second help him define the steps he needs to follow in order to accomplish his building.
Even teenagers can use modeling! for example, if you want to design a T-Shirt with a logo on it that has a certain shape (ex: a parabola-shaped logo) you can model your logo first on the computer and calculate the dimensions needed and then, print it out! Enjoy!
