Description
As part of the HiTech DIY for Physics Teachers optional course-unit at Eötvös Loránd University, students explore computer-controlled physics experiments using the BBC Microbit microcontroller while having the freedom to conduct independent experiments. This course spans two semesters. In the first semester, students learn to execute various physics experiments using the Scratch programming language, while in the second semester, they use the Python programming language.
In addition to programming, students acquire valuable skills for physics teachers, such as designing simple measurement circuits, 3D printing, and soldering. The goal of the course is to help future physics teachers develop skills in a playful environment, enabling them to create 21st-century student experiments on a limited budget during their teaching careers.
In my presentation, I will share professional experiences in course-unit organization and provide some specific examples from the course curriculum.
