Python4Physics: A physics outreach program

Abstract

We describe a summer outreach program developed to cultivate interest in physics in particular and physical sciences more broadly among high school and early college students using small projects in the Python programming language. We discuss the lessons we learned in the hopes that they will be valuable to other physicists in planning their own outreach efforts. We also provide links to resources and materials from the Python4Physics program, which we hope might be useful in other outreach programs.
