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 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

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

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

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!

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

Another fun snowflake related #p5js code that we made is this snowflake generator. Enjoy!

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

We have some ideas for what to work on over winter break but what would YOU like to see? New videos? New activities? More content in a particular area (like astronomy?). We're all ears!

It's computer science education week! It happens in December because of the birthday of Grace Hopper, one of the OGs of the computer science world. Earlier this year the NSA released a classified lecture she did in 1982 entitled "Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, People". Check it out! Happy birthday Grace! #CSEdWeek #CSforAll

Prof. Scott Zimmerman was at the Tri-State STEM conference in Cincy in October talking about all the great stuff we've developed to modernize high school math and science!

We just released a new video series on collecting and analyzing air pressure data using a smartphone or an iPad and a free app called Arduino Science Journal. It is part of our ongoing effort to develop a high school #datascience curriculum. Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T1iuus50PQ&list=PLISRe8GegO8T-sA9RDNylWGWa7MX8E4s3
