My local high school wants to add some computers to
its chemistry
program. The current intent is to buy several Apple laptops. I
talked
to the chemistry teacher this morning about adding a computational
chemistry component, and particularly MD visualization, to the
curriculum. We are close to the San Diego Supercomputer Center and all
of
the biotech around Scripps Research Institute, so there is a lot of
local
talent to draw on. The school board wants to see a committee formed to
present justification for the purchase.
I am a physicist/EE and only tangentially involved in CC. I've shown
IR
mode simulations to kids as young as 11 with apparently good
comprehension
when presented side by side with plastic ball and stick models. What I
need from CCL is concise statements of tools that you use now that
would
have greatly enhanced your high school chemistry experience. Any
examples
of CC resources being used in high schools would also be
useful. Everything from pdb viewers up is fair game.
