For the past couple years, I have typeset all of my worksheets and other teaching materials in LaTeX. Here is a repository containing all of my worksheets, with a CC0 license.
Projects
These are some side projects that I work on simply because I enjoy tinkering with computers and coding. Most of them have nothing to do with physics and very few of them have any practical benefit.
Classroom Timer
Jul 17, 2022
This project exists to serve a very niche problem. In my classroom, students coming from across my rather large school have trouble making it to my room before passing period ends. Therefore, I give them an extra 45 seconds after the bell rings before I count them tardy. I also don’t allow students to pack up prior to three minutes before the end of the period.

When my first daughter was born, we were asked by the doctor to track her feedings and her wet and dirty diapers. While there are apps that do this, they are all too complicated! So I did the only logical thing: coded my own simpler app from scratch!

I’ve always wanted to find something useful to do with the GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi. Haven’t found anything useful to do yet, but I have played around with a few non-useful things!

Apr 20, 2017
During the 2017 INAAPT Spring Meeting, I listened to a talk about GlowScript as a way to create VPython animations online. I created the following projects just to learn the programming language and illustrate a couple physics concepts.
