The Compute-to-Learn (C2L) Pedagogy is a semester-long, project-based learning experience in which students collaborate within a peer-led studio environment to code Mathematica demonstrations of abstract course concepts that can be illustrated and clarified by dynamic computation. During this experience, students learn key programming skills that they apply within the context of physical chemistry. At the end of the semester, the student demonstrations undergo external peer review and can be published on the Wolfram Demonstrations Project website.
The C2L is also extended to Quantum Compute-to-Learn (QC2L). In QC2L, the educational demonstrations are focused on quantum information science concepts, as well as specific CQD-MQD research topics. The QC2L pedagogical approach will be incorporated into graduate and undergraduate chemistry courses at participating institutions.
