Description
 
This free 1.5-hour Zoom workshop will introduce students to concepts in supercomputing, computational science, and parallel computing. Every day, large, fast computers are used for modeling, simulation, visualization, data analysis, and machine learning for a wide variety of applications in all disciplines, helping humanity better understand weather events and natural disasters, disease outbreaks, climate change, design of medicines and materials, turbulence, the cosmological evolution of our universe, and a whole host of other phenomena, big and small — from quarks to galaxies and everything in between. This workshop is intended for first-year or sophomore undergraduate students, with 11th or 12th grade high school students and others welcome to attend as well. No prior experience is necessary. The workshop will be presented with slides and activities that only require a web browser for students to participate. The workshop will be presented by Aaron Weeden, Scientific Programmer/Analyst at the University at Buffalo Center for Computational Research (https://www.buffalo.edu/ccr.html), in partnership with Dr. Araya from the Computational Turbulence and Visualization Lab (https://ceid.utsa.edu/garaya/) at the University of Texas at San Antonio (https://www.utsa.edu/), and in partnership with the Shodor Education Foundation (http://shodor.org). This workshop is possible thanks to support from NSF-CAREER award #2314303 (https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2314303&HistoricalAwards=false).

Molecular Literacy: Teaching Chemistry Like Teaching Reading

Mar 4, 2024

11:30am – 1:00pm CT

Hilton Austin Downtown

 

This workshop will model the strategies to teach chemistry like teaching reading. We will be playing games, doing activities, solving puzzles, and reading chemistry comic books as tools to navigate this strategy for teaching chemistry. Participants will come away with an understanding of the parallels between learning to read and learning chemistry. They will also have the tools and strategies to implement this in their classrooms or share with peers.
