The American Association of Physics Teachers, Northern California/Nevada Section
Our next local AAPT meeting will be hosted by the University of the Pacific Physics Department on April 5th and 6th.
Parking and directions can be found here.
So, what will our conference look like? We’ll have vendor workshops in the late afternoon/early evening on Friday the 5th, followed by some no-host dining. Our main event will be on Saturday the 6th, and will feature invited talks from Natasha Holmes and Binod Nainabasti followed by workshops in the afternoon.
It’s summer, which means many of us will be moving into new schools, or cleaning out old ones. It’s not unusual to come across equipment that you have no idea how it is used (even for veteran teachers!). In light of that, we and PTSOS have created a new Twitter hashtag to use our collective wisdom to help identify unknown equipment:
If you are on Twitter, feel free to ask and answer questions about equipment.
There are hands-on Vernier workshops coming to our area, and seats are still available.

Today’s workshop on technology and equipment combined the best educational tech/software/equipment companies, PASCO and Vernier. About twenty educators gathered at St. Ignatius High School in San Francisco to see the best of the new as well as some classic demonstrations.
