Mathematical modeling and creation of arcade games in the classes of the «Carousel of Directions» group
On Saturday, February 3, an online class of the «Carousel of Directions» group of the Children’s and Youth Scientific University of the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University took place.
The first class on the topic: «Creating arcade games.»
During the class, the children got acquainted with the Pycharm program, the capabilities of the tkinter and djan libraries. In real time, they created an animation of the movement of a game ball on the field. Children learned about the «Game of Life» – a cellular automaton invented by the English mathematician John Conway.
The second lesson on the topic: «Mathematical and numerical modeling of physical and natural phenomena.»
The students were told about mathematical modeling, historical aspects and modern tools for numerical implementation of mathematical models. They were introduced to a number of examples of mathematical models in various fields of application from the simplest to complex multiphysical processes. The students were shown how to create and implement a mathematical model in the COMSOL Multiphysics environment, and examples of diploma works on this topic were given.
We are grateful for the initiative and creative approach of the teachers of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University, Anton Ryabenko and Oleksandr Denisenko, and to all the children for their active participation and interest.
We look forward to the next meetings!
