Fundamental physics laws and formulae in robotics, middle school, high school
This document represents a classroom presentation on the fundamental laws of physics and mechanics that are applied to robotics. The presentation is done at the middle school to fresh in high school levels which means no calculus in the formulae and the formulae and a little simplified to illustrate practical concepts. A couple of activities / assessments are also provided at the end. It is a useful document that can cover intro into robotics activities for 1-2 classes.

AP CSA | Steganography Lab | Lecture Slides | High School
10 PowerPoint slides on steganography. It is a resource I created out of my own need to better explain the steganography technique as the College Board materials are cumbersome. The results in my class were that more students understood steganography and they dared to implement the code. Steganography is a relatively difficult technique to implement for most of high school students as it involves multi dimensional arrays with sub-components RGB (pixels). This resource can be used during Q3
