Faculty and institutions are using AI to create educational material and tutors that help students learn the material. These are text-based interactions. But AI can also build digital simulations that allow students to experiment with different variables to learn how they affect processes. This ability is particularly helpful in the sciences, where students can play with factors like temperature and pressure to do experiments on a computer when they don’t have access to a laboratory. I’m sure there are nonscience uses as well, and I invite you to suggest some in the comments.

There’s a “Copy link” button in the upper-right corner, but it only copies the URL. There’s no way to download HTML that I can see. (Yes, I am logged in to Claude.ai.)
Hi Magrieta:
It looks like Claude changed their interface since I wrote the article. I will change the instructions in the article.
Here is what you do:
1. Sign up for a free Claude account at: Claude.ai.
2. Go to the simulation that I linked from the article.
3. Right-click on the “Customize” button at the top-right of the simulation and open the link in a new tab. Opening in a new tab is important. You should be taken to a page with the prompt on the left and the simulation on the right.
4. Now you have the simulation to edit, share, etc. It is your own, and so you can modify it by just giving it your own instructions.
5. If you want to download it as HTML to use on your own computer, or elsewhere, then click the dropdown menu next to the “Copy” button and it should show the “Download as HTML” option. Click that and you should get the file.
Let me know if this works.
