I teach physics at Rancho Cucamonga High School!

Decisive round two victories for both teams

[Aaron Stafford @StaffordPhysics]

RCHS teams with back to back wins in the first round of the second annual @CJUHSD battlebots tournament @RanchoHSCougars

@natmiletic Probably should make it recursive, keep subtracting 2 until you end up with 2 or 1.

My Arduino Udemy course is free for the next 5 days with this code 3522869666267E7BD383 https://t.co/V7sfFTIKdH

@gojimmypi @computingchamps Pretty well, most students seem to really enjoy it. The c++ is maybe too much, and there is some definite fatigue. I am curious to see how it will look with micro python.

[Aaron Stafford @StaffordPhysics]

@gojimmypi @computingchamps I am exploring switching to micro python - probably on the pico w, because I would like to reduce the time we spend on programming.

[Aaron Stafford @StaffordPhysics]

@gojimmypi @computingchamps Actually, I am doing much of that, this was in reference to the game specifically. We have never done a game before. We do a whole range from hello world all the way through simple motor control. In the level 2 class we do control systems and some connectivity stuff.

[Aaron Stafford @StaffordPhysics]

@computingchamps @gojimmypi These are 11th and 12th graders, I do not teach students in any other age ranges. This is the first time I have done this. They expressed interest in doing something like this, so we gave it a shot.

@carrillophysics Was actually my college physics text too

.@RanchoHSCougars Green engineering students testing their co2 dragsters today!

[Aaron Stafford @StaffordPhysics]

Congratulations to @RanchoHSCougars Zach Mirman, Caleb Tucker, and Nour Rezk on their victory at the 1st annual @CJUHSD Combat robots competition! What a great way to wrap up their senior year! @cary_willborn @demi_deocales @JessieKach @Hibenator @RCHSAchievement

.@RanchoHSCougars students built an electric guitar for their musical instrument project in green up and go engineering!

[Aaron Stafford @StaffordPhysics]

@carrillophysics Yeah, and we talk about how one of them has a smaller effect and so they are going to pick the two that match the data the best, and then after they are done we talk about how the angle is assumed to be small.

[Aaron Stafford @StaffordPhysics]

@physicsnico When objects are stuck together at the end. The maximum ke is lost that can be lost and still allow for momentum to be conserved. An example is a bug hitting a windshield of a car on the freeway. Totally inelastic, but very little ke lost.

Way to go Angela!

[Principal Aikens @RanchoHSCougars]

Hear from one of our Cougars on the strategy they used when they designed their car which successfully protected her egg, also known as “Pisces”! Great job Angela!!

[Principal Aikens @RanchoHSCougars]

S/O to @StaffordPhysics for providing a fun and engaging finals project for our Cougars. Given the skills learned, students were given a few materials and challenged with building a car that will protect an egg from cracking upon a collision. Our kids did a great job!!
