System models and computational thinking are being increasingly emphasized as important components in science education, as addressed in the Next Generation Science Standards. We will present a computational modeling software called SageModeler that allows students to construct their own models and engage in System thinking and Computational thinking. We will present the basic features of the software, allow a firsthand experience workshop with the software, and discuss strategies that support students in computational modeling.
