On March 20, 2025, the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) organized a hands-on workshop titled “Tracker & Laser Diffraction: Exploring Python and Applied Physics with Fun” for junior high school students. The workshop was held at the Computer and Basic Physics Laboratory of the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science.
This program aimed to help students understand the principles of rotational motion and wave diffraction through hands-on experiments. It also introduced the application of Tracker Video Analysis and Python simulations. Students practiced analyzing physics data and simulating natural phenomena, enhancing their comprehension of applied physics. The workshop was conducted by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Thana Sutthibutpong as the lead instructor.
The program included experiments on object motion and wave diffraction, allowing students to explore both theoretical concepts and hands-on experiments. This approach helped them connect experimental results with theoretical models. Students also developed skills in data analysis software and Python programming, enhancing their analytical thinking and systematic problem-solving abilities. The workshop not only strengthened their understanding of physics but also equipped them with essential digital-age skills, inspiring further interest in advanced physics studies.
