The workshop is especially targeted at faculty and graduate students (advanced undergrads could definitely benefit from it too). Some of the content examples are from physics, but a physics background is not required. It will be especially appealing to those focused on STEM (humanities focused people will get a lot out of the conclusions, but may not connect as much with the examples).
Presenter:
John McNally received his B.S. in physics and M.Ed. in curriculum and instruction from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Before joining Wolfram Research, he taught mathematics and physics for K-12 students, where he strove to make concepts from university courses and research accessible to a wider audience. While teaching, John became interested in new ways for students to learn the future skill of computational thinking. He now works with the Academic Innovation Support team to help educators implement curricula of the future. Aside from education, he maintains an avid hobbyist's interest in astronomy, history and film.
