By Phase By Day Calendar
Launch
Students will launch the epidemiology project by testing their early assumptions about outbreak response through a Pandemic tabletop simulation, then analyze a mystery outbreak briefing to generate evidence-based questions, initial claims, and a team investigation pathway for the next phase.

Launch Mystery
Students will turn an outbreak mystery into a disciplined investigation by refining a testable question, selecting modeling methods, comparing viral strain evidence, and building an evidence-traceable workflow for diagnosis, treatment, mitigation, and prevention before major data collection begins.
