Coding integration into High School Physics using STEMcoding Project Resources

Syllabus

Specific Course Goals/Rationale

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.
