Mathematics, Animation, and Python through Manim
This workshop is designed to teach students interested in Mathematics, Animation, and/or Python about the library developed by famous YouTuber 3blue1brown: Manim. Students will learn about different mathematical concepts by visualizing them and ultimately develop a final 5-10 minute original presentation on a mathematical concept. Those more interested in animation are encouraged to join. Ages 12-18 will benefit the most from this course. See https://www.3blue1brown.com/ for some amazing examples!
Learning Goals:
- Writing & communication
- Technical skills
- Research skills
- Digital & creative design
- Project management & execution
- Critical thinking
Final Deliverable: Students will be expected to develop a 5-10 minute video of an original mathematical topic. This can be released online via YouTube/Twitter, etc. if the student desires.
