Upcoming Events

  • SLICE 2025

    Summer Leadership Institute for Computational Education in Physics
    Dates: June 23-27, 2025

    Save the date! A week-long workshop to grow and sustain a network of educational leaders in computational physics education who will support the continual evolution of computational teaching and learning needs in physics. We will engage in developing diverse instructional designs, course materials, evidence-based pedagogies, and assessment strategies that will help coherently achieve a wide variety of computational physics learning goals. The workshop will be held at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls.
  • 2025 PICUP Summer Virtual Workshop

    Harnessing Large Language Models for Integrating Computation into Physics Courses
    Dates: July 29-31, 2025
    Location: Online

    The purpose of the workshop is to explore the use of Large Language Models (LLM) to facilitate the integration of computational activities into physics courses, spanning the spectrum from introductory to advanced. This interactive event will address critical questions and opportunities at the intersection of AI, pedagogy, and computational activities development.
