I’m creating this ETP to address a problem that I’ve observed at Richmond High School: a sizeable amount of students don’t know about STEM careers beside the nebulous “doctor,” “nurse,” and “engineer.” With new, diverse, and specialized STEM careers growing and expanding rapidly, especially here
The Markland research group at Stanford University develops simulation approaches to modelling chemical systems. When experimental techniques are insufficient for observing atomic-level phenomena, scientists use advanced computer simulations to model complex systems.
My ETP focuses on teaching the mental models behind programming in React, a JavaScript framework popularized by Facebook that is currently being used to develop web, mobile and VR apps.
This is a two-day Makerspace lesson in which students work in teams to create JavaScript apps using snippets of code. Using a custom-designed app, each student will be given random snippets of code to choose from.
Computer Science Hot Digital Assets Management! is a curated and searchable database of current digital media resources (websites, podcasts, videos) for learning and teaching Computer Science. It can be used by students and CS teachers alike, both emerging and experienced.
The Importance of Building Interfaces is a short (approx 4 days) mini unit that emphasizes why it is valuable and necessary to establish interfaces to be used in larger programming projects.
At FX Palo Alto Laboratory, research projects are shared among researchers using the Git and GitHub collaboration tools. GitHub and Git are essential technologies for sharing coding with other programmers.
This lesson shows students how to add dynamic content to their web applications using XML and XQuery. Students will build on their prior knowledge of SQL and the python http-client from previous lessons to create XML documents, generate schema, and access that data without a database.
From Idaho National Laboratory’s STEM in the Lab program, in this lesson, students will complete a STEM challenge to build a car using a balloon as its energy source.
