Intermediate Coding integration into High School Physics using STEMcoding Project Resources

Syllabus

This course occurs after an absolute-beginner-level two-week course July 15 - July 19, 2024. Completing the absolute beginner level course is not a requirement for taking this course but participants should have some prior programming experience. The activities in the absolute-beginner course are simple enough that they can be used (and have been used) in high school physical science classes. The activities in this “intermediate level” course are designed for non-AP physics level courses, and college algebra-based introductory physics courses. The activities covered come from the STEMcoding Project (http://youtube.com/STEMcoding) and many of these activities, which are written in javascript, have a physics of video games theme.  The focus of the course will be physics of video games activities but as time allows and depending on the interests of the participants we can also touch on astronomy, electromagnetism and/or data science activities from the STEMcoding project.
