Introducing PhET Studio: Customize PhET Sims for your Classroom

PhET's library of interactive simulations ("sims") has revolutionized physics education, empowering teachers and enabling students to visualize and experiment with complex concepts. To further empower educators, PhET Interactive Simulations at the University of Colorado Boulder has developed PhET Studio, a platform designed for customization and lesson creation. In this session, we will introduce the core capabilities of PhET Studio, showcasing how instructors can leverage these capabilities to 1) adapt simulations to match their learning objectives, 2) eliminate the need for lengthy instructions, and 3) save instructional time. Instructors will learn how to create, save, and share customized simulation presets through simple URLs. We will conclude the session by sharing our roadmap for future PhET Studio capabilities and how PhET Studio will not only empower educators but also serve a critical role in securing and fueling PhET's work for years to come.
