What is Bootstrap:Physics?
The Computational Modeling in Physics with Bootstrap module (colloquially known as "Bootstrap:Physics") is developed in partnership with the
American Association of Physics Teachers, the
American Modeling Teachers Association, and
STEM Teachers NYC. This module helps students understand basic physics concepts by incorporating computer programming as one of the key tools for building models of the physical world. The module is targeted at ninth grade, a year in which every student is expected to take science. The module is aligned to the Physics First course, allowing teachers to easily embed computational modeling in their physics classes.
The facilitators will also provide proven classroom strategies and
supplements, as well as helping individual teachers make a plan for
integrating the curriculum into their unique classroom environment.
What do teachers need to bring?
- Laptop or Chromebook + charging cable
- Pen or pencil
- Excitement!
