Who Should Attend
Any physics educators from around the North Carolina area (or anywhere else if you're willing to travel!) that want to energize their physics courses! The scope of this workshop is appropriate for physics teachers from high schools, 2-year colleges, and 4-year colleges and universities.
The workshop will include demonstrations and discussions about various aspects of integrating computational activities into physics courses at all levels from introductory to advanced. There will also be guided working time wherein participants will explore tested exercises, and will build an outline that will serve as the beginning of a plan for integrating computational activities into their specific courses. Finally, by participating in this workshop participants will become plugged into a growing and supportive community of like-minded physics educators dedicated to improving the physics curriculum. The support system includes a repository of developed computational materials as well as dedicated online and personal community support.
The workshop is intended to be the first in a series of annually occurring PICUP workshops in the Carolinas. We are hoping to develop a community of like-minded instructors who teach computation in their physics classes.
Registration: $15 (includes lunch); $20 after April 4th
