Learn how to take a physical problem (e.g., a problem set in physics, chemistry, or engineering), solve it, and create instructive visualizations of the physical phenomena. This session will be interactive and participants will create a solution from start to finish during the session. Participants should have some familiarity with the Wolfram Language, attending the introductory sessions of this series is encouraged.

Learn to use the Wolfram Language for artistic expression in this creative and interactive workshop. In small teams (or alone) participants will create a piece of algorithmic art. Each group will share their art with other participants in a playful, collaborative environment. This session is appropriate for participants with any, including no, previous computer programming experience.

Compete in a fun programming challenge for small teams and individuals using the Wolfram Language and Mathematica. Participants will form small teams (or work alone) to design and finish a project in less than one hour with technical guidance from the instructor. Each project will be shared and all participants will vote for a winning project in various categories.

Learn to make physical interfaces using the Wolfram Language and the Raspberry Pi in this hands-on workshop. Participants will form small teams (or work alone) to design and build a physical interface using the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi computer, along with some foil and cardboard. Each project will be demonstrated for other participants. All necessary equipment for this session will be provided.
