Originally designed for middle-school students, ''Cooties ''enables students to study the spread of infectious diseases. In ''Cooties, ''a teacher can select which student(s) to infect and which students to give "degrees of 'immunity'".<ref name= "Savill" /> The device displays icons for all students, and differentiates those with and without infection. As students move about, they "spread" disease. As the simulation progresses, students can then form a scientific hypothesis about how the disease is spread.<ref name= "Savill" />
