STEMcoding
STEMcoding is an educational group with the goal of integrating computer programming high school and college-level introductory STEM courses.[1].
The project is led by Professor Chris Orban in the Physics Department at the Ohio State University.
The STEMcoding project is focused on creating, assessing and disseminating coding activities for physics courses. There are over 15 different coding activities for introductory physics that are available (go.osu.edu/physics_coding), including activities inspired by the popular games Asteroids, Lunar Lander, Angry Birds and Agar.io. All of the STEMcoding activities use the javascript-based p5.js language which is a text-based (as opposed to block-based or visual) language that is developed and maintained by the Processing Foundation.
The group also collaborates with to the Partnership to Integrate Computation into Undergraduate Physics (compadre.org/PICUP).
The STEMcoding project also includes efforts to conduct educational research on using coding activities in the classroom[2][3] and professional development opportunities for teachers[4].
In summer 2017, the STEMcoding project was selected for the American Institute of Physics Meggers Project Award[5]
