Overview

The ICONS Project designs online role-play simulations on contentious issues. Some ICONS simulations are designed to include students from just one school (single-class simulations) while others bring together teams of students from schools throughout the U.S. and the world (distributed simulations).

Single-Class Catalog: Visit the single-class section of the catalog to browse all available single-class simulations.

Distributed Catalog: Visit the distributed section of the catalog to learn more about our distributed simulation, The International System.

Custom Simulations: ICONS can develop custom simulations for education and research programs.

ICONS simulations are conducted in a password-protected online interface, known as ICONSnet, which includes a variety of easy-to-use communication tools and resources. Every simulation comes with access to an online Faculty Area, complete with sample assignments and a facilitator guide. For more information on how ICONS simulations work, visit Learn More.
