Continuing Professional Development Workshops
The Matter & Interactions curriculum was designed to infuse modern physics throughout the introductory courses. It begins with Special Relativity, and introduces students to computational modelling through Web VPython. Join us to learn more about this curriculum from one of the authors and a TYC devotee.

We are in the midst of the second quantum revolution that promises future technologies such as quantum computers, quantum internet and next generation of quantum sensors. However, quantum mechanics is an abstract subject, and therefore challenging to teach. To help improve student understanding of quantum concepts, in this workshop, we will discuss how you can use the Bloch Cube, a hands-on educational tool. Bloch cubes can help your students learn key quantum concepts without equations.

This workshop introduces an evidence-based instructional sequence designed to establish a strong conceptual foundation for further exploration of quantum phenomena. Designed to be completed in approximately one week or four hours of class time, the sequence emphasizes conceptual understanding and requires only basic algebra and geometry skills. This approach is particularly well-suited for upper-level secondary students and college introductory physics students.
