This is the third of an occasional interview series I’m doing of educational innovators. You can find the whole series here.
Pat Counts is a Physics teacher from Wyoming, Ohio (a city outside of Cincinnati). We met him at the Pycon Education Summit, where we learned of his efforts to incorporate Python into his curriculum. We’ve since met quite a few in the Physics community who are really on the forefront of using computational thinking in their teaching. In the interview below, Pat tells me about why Python is a good fit with Physics, his teaching style, and resources he’s used as he’s taught himself the Python he needs to teach his students!
