Coding integration into High School Physics & Physical Science using STEMcoding Project Resources

Syllabus

Specific Course Goals/Rationale

The goal of this course is to show absolute-beginner-programming-level
teachers how computer programming exercises can be integrated into
high school physical science or high school physics (non-AP or AP) in
a simple, fun and engaging way that strongly aligns with traditional
learning goals. The STEMcoding project (http://youtube.com/STEMcoding)
is led by Ohio State University physics professor Chris Orban and the
course covers a set of javascript based activities that were developed
with significant teacher feedback. Many thousands of high school and
early college students have used and completed these activities since
the STEMcoding project launched in 2017. We will also go over the
STEMcoding Object Tracker which is a browser based (and chromebook
compatible!) tool for analyzing video data and helping students
develop spreadsheet and data science skills.
