Have you ever wanted to bring coding into your classroom? Or maybe you’ve introduced some computation, but you want to move to the next level? Let’s go code some physics! In this episode I talk with W. Brian Lane, the creator of the YouTube channel Let’s Code Physics. We talk about his videos, the online coding platforms he recommends, and how to get started coding in the classroom. We also talk about the workshops and exercise sets available through the PICUP community, and then branch into a different topic: replacing lab reports by asking students to write a letter home.
Check out the YouTube channel Let’s Code Physics. A few video series include:
Online coding platforms
PICUP – Partnership for Integration of Computation in Undergraduate Physics

How can I build more confidence in my ability to teaching coding in physics?
