Abstract Title: Integrating Computation in Science Across Michigan
Abstract: Integrating Computation into Science Across Michigan (ICSAM) is an NSF-funded project that focuses on supporting teachers who wish to incorporate computational activities into their physics classrooms in an equitable way. The emphasis of the workshop is to build up teachers' efficacy and ability with computation while also considering the impact on equity that computation can have in the physics classroom. Parallel to running the workshop and building a community of integrating teachers we have developed focused on both the teachers and students in these integrated environments. In this talk, we discuss the current state of the ICSAM project and how it has informed our understanding of integrating computation in the high school setting.
