Description
The Next Generation Science Standards puts "computational thinking" alongside mathematics as key practices for investigating science. What does this mean for a physics classroom? How can computational thinking be included without adding weeks to a typical course? I will present activities from the STEMcoding Project (http://youtube.com/STEMcoding) that address these questions. The STEMcoding framework allows students with no prior coding experience to create interactive and engaging representations of physical phenomena that feel like a video game.
