Coding Integration using STEMcoding Intermediate Course

Syllabus

Specific Course Goals/Rationale

This course occurs after an absolute-beginner-level two-week course June 26 - July 7, 2023. The activities in the absolute- beginner course are simple enough that they could 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.

Compared to the absolute beginner course, this course will cover about twice as many activities and the pace will be somewhat faster.

Participating in the absolute beginner level course is not a requirement for taking this intermediate level course. Experienced physics teachers with little to no programming experience are welcome to skip the absolute beginner level course and start with this intermediate level course, so long as they have plenty of time during July 10 - July 28 to participate. You will find that your physics knowledge will often be helpful in modifying the codes and noticing problems with the programs.

Teachers who have recently been assigned to teach physics for the first time may struggle with the pace of this course and find the absolute beginner level course to be much more appropriate and comfortable.

We will meet regularly on zoom at 1pm EST. Sessions will be recorded in case there are conflicts with specific dates.
