Continuing Professional Development Workshops

 

Join us at the AAPT National Winter Meeting 2025 in St. Louis, MO for a one-day workshop on using sensors as educational tools! This workshop aims to provide two-year college faculty with tools and skills to not only create more sensor-based activities for use in your own classes, but also to lead future workshops on the same topic in your local community. Two-year college faculty who are selected for this workshop will be reimbursed for reasonable travel costs. There is no registration fee for this workshop for accepted participants.

Join the Editors for AJP (Beth Parks) and TPT (Gary White) for this lively information session to learn how you can publish in each of these AAPT journals!

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.
