OSU professors got to meet with folks from Google's AI team last week at an event in Ohio Stadium. Some of us OSU Marion professors decided to take a selfie with Google AI on the jumbotron in the background.

So you want to visit stemcoding.github.io but your district blocked github? No problem! We set up a mirror at explore.stemcoding.org Check it out! #CS4All #datascience #iteachphysics #iteachmath

STEMcoding zoom huddle today at 4pm EST!!! It is open to all and the entire STEMcoding team will be there to answer questions and get feedback. Send an email to [email protected] to get the zoom link! #iteachphysics #iteachmath #datascience #CS4All

We're excited to release stemcoding.github.io which has an activity explorer where you can find all 44 of our activities! Check it out! #iteachphysics #iteachmath #AAPTSM25 #datascience #CS4All

#CSTA25 here we come! #CS4All #datascience

Here's a nice photo from our trip to the WeTeach_CS conference in Austin last month! #datascience #CS4All We're looking forward to the CSTA conference next week!

We survived but a severed fiber optic cable cutting off internet to the OSU Marion campus was not on our bingo card for the first day of #datascience training!

Having a great time at the WeTeachCS annual conference! #CS4Yall #WTCS25

Looks like we're in the right spot #CS4yall #WTCS2025

If you're in Austin for the WeTeachCS conference, don't miss our talks! June 9, 9:45am Data Science: How to Thoughtfully Integrate Science, Math and Computer Science June 9, 12:45pm Teaching CS and Math Concepts through Creative Calculations of Pi #CS4Yall #CS4All #iteachmath

Starting in about two hours! Register at this link: forms.gle/h4XBy2Q7mYpp... #iteachphysics

Chris will be speaking tomorrow (saturday) in the Harvard HS physics educator talk series! To tune in you can register here: forms.gle/uK1tsg74zF4m... #iteachphysics

Spots are still available for high schoolers at the ASPIRE camp organized by the OSU physics department in Columbus Ohio. Even better they will be using STEMcoding activities in their program! More info at u.osu.edu/aspire

Great news! We have funding to train up to 20 Texas teachers in data science over zoom thanks to funding from WeTeach_CS (which is part of UT Austin). We will go through different spreadsheet-based activities that mix science, math and computer science. #iteachmath #iteachphysics #csed

If you're still celebrating #EarthDay don't forget about our data science activity where students use spreadsheets to model how much temperatures have shifted at their locations! go.osu.edu/earthdaycoding #edusky #iteachmath #csedu #iteachphysics

We helped with a girl scout STEM event at OSU Marion today. There is a merit badge for shapes in nature that includes fractals. Chris talked about self-similarity in the universe and Scott showed the scouts how to draw a Sierpinski triangle #iteachmath

HAPPY #piday2025 ! Don't forget to check out our Pi Day activities below! tinyurl.com/pidaystemcod... tinyurl.com/pidaystemcod... #piday #iteachmath #csedu #edusky

Another #piday2025 activity is our "Pi in Parallel" coding worksheet! This one helps explain the use of multiple cores on a processor. (There's no video for this one yet, but stay tuned!) tinyurl.com/pidaystemcod... #piday #iteachmath #csed #edusky

Get ready for #piday2025 this Friday! For a fun, classroom friendly, pi-related coding activity, check out "Calculating Pi" here: tinyurl.com/pidaystemcod... #piday #iteachmath #csed #edusky

I love visiting the new building for Metro High School. It looks much more like Hogwarts than the old building. It's beautiful on the inside too thanks to the renovation!

Happy Valentines day! Here is a tutorial on making mathematical flowers using polar coordinates. Enjoy! #iteachmath #edusky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msQ25WVnPN8&list=PLISRe8GegO8T-8S_FrdMBy4UQR7N320Ab

That's a wrap! #OETC25

New video coming soon! We got a tour of the radiation oncology training facility at Ohio State University with Prof. Ashley Cetnar who is a medical physicist. Physics saves lives! Check it out at this link on sunday: https://youtu.be/Lf16ZX0JCtQ #iteachphysics #edusky

I got to see my friends today from Cleveland State U at the Ohio CS summit! I have so much respect for the work they do with teachers! #CSTAOhio

We are excited to participate in the Ohio Computer Science Summit on February 12 in Columbus, Ohio as a part of #OETC25 We'll be presenting at 9:15am in a talk "Greatest Hits from the STEMcoding Project". Big thanks to Ohio #CSTA for making this happen! #CSforAll #Edusky

Celebrate Black History month with our Project Mercury tutorial which explains some of the calculations that Katherine Johnson made for NASA. #iteachphysics #iteachmath #CS4ALL #CSEd #edusky https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLISRe8GegO8S-188B7veZ6dYLSqZoXFkG&si=5laubuVLPrH2YxA0

We are lucky in Central Ohio to have our own game jam. I went to the closing ceremony this weekend to check it out! #CSed #CSforAll https://thecogg.com/ggj

PSA: If you haven't yet had the time or the energy to set up a small GPU cluster to run Deepseek R1 locally (like practically every YouTuber at this point), you are still smart and hardworking. This message is for anyone who needs to hear it.

If you're not changing the way you teach Gauss' law every time you teach it, then I feel like you're not doing it right #iteachphysics

In a random act of kindness the blogging service @chicksgold translated the instructions for our activity "Escape Velocity / Newtonian Black Holes" into Spanish! We are very grateful for their efforts! Here is the translated page: https://chicksgold.com/blog/newtonian-black-holes

Co-founder of the STEMcoding project, Prof. Chris Orban was interviewed on the Learning Unboxed podcast about his contributions to the Ohio High School Math Pathways project. #iteachmath #edusky Check it out here: https://www.pastfoundation.org/learning-unboxed

The Ohio K12 computer science summit will be on February 12th in Columbus, Ohio as part of #OETC25 If you're coming, don't miss our presentation: "Greatest Hits from the STEMcoding Project" at 9:15am. https://oetc.ohio.gov/attend-oetc #CSforAll #CSTA #Edusky

Does anyone know of or have experience with programs for youth where they take apart old electronics (a.k.a. e-waste)? There used to be something like this in Columbus, Ohio but it disbanded about 10 years ago. #CSforAll #edusky

Fun fact: We have a discord channel where you can chat with us and with teachers using the activities we developed! Here is a link to join: https://discord.gg/bsWgqcqwCE #iteachphysics #iteachmath #CSforAll

In 2024, we bought a used framework laptop, which is designed to be ultra-repairable and ultra-upgradeable and which works particularly well with #linux It's worked great! Maybe some day we can upgrade the CPU to use an intel chip made at the new factory in Ohio!

Content warning: this post discusses linux. In 2024, Chris switched to Debian, which is run by a nonprofit instead of for profit (Ubuntu). KDE worked better than GNOME on Debian 12. Flatpaks were a pain. Wayland was a headache for screen sharing. #Linux is still beautiful chaos.

The STEMcoding project is a partnership between Ohio State and the University of Mount Union, but we also have a non-profit. Chris Orban and Richelle Teeling-Smith started it in 2020 and it provides science and math teachers with tools to connect their subjects to CS and data science. #CSforALL

Our new year's resolution is to record more videos for the STEMcoding Object Tracker! http://go.osu.edu/objecttracker #iteachphysics

Our new year's resolution is to record more videos for the STEMcoding Object Tracker! http://go.osu.edu/objecttracker #iteachphysics #iteachmath #p5js

The STEMcoding project would not be what it is without p5.js which is an open source library that is created and maintained by creative community of folks from around the world. Please consider donating if you can! #p5js #CSforAll #edusky

Another fun snowflake related #p5js code that we made is this snowflake generator. Enjoy! https://editor.p5js.org/ChrisOrban/sketches/SkHAIgV-E #iteachmath #edusky #CSforAll

Here is a visualization of a snowflake falling with forces shown that you didn't know you needed! Click the link to see the source code: editor.p5js.org/ChrisOrban/s... #iteachphysics #iteachmath #CSforALL #CSEdWeek

We started a youtube channel in 2017 to share tutorials on integrating computer science and data science into math and science courses. Check it out! youtube.com/STEMcoding #iteachphysics #iteachmath #CSEdWeek

Keep an eye out for Chris Orban on an upcoming episode of the Learning Unboxed Podcast with Annalies Corbin where he will talk about modernizing high school science and math courses! #iteachmath #iteachphysics #CSEdWeek
