1/7 💔 We are very disappointed to announce that on April 25, NSF terminated a $1.5M PhET grant – our Pathways to Open Source Ecosystems Phase II grant for advancing PhET’s SceneryStack project. Learn how this impacts our work and how you can help: bit.ly/PhETNSF2025

For those in the physics (and STEM) education sphere, one of my favorite FREE resources had it's funding cancelled by the NSF because this government hates 1) education and 2) equity and access to educational resources. Consider donating to sustain PhET! I just did! phet.colorado.edu

A project near and dear to me, PhET, sent an email today saying an awarded NSF grant was cancelled. This is a tragedy along with many others. Science should be accessible. Science is not a liberal conspiracy. phet.colorado.edu

So for the past 15th years or so, maybe longer, I've been using phET simulations in my classes. The NSF just cut at 1.5 M grant to phET because I guess the government doesn't find these educational tools worthwhile anymore. Cool.

Of all the penny-wise, pound-foolish idiotic things.

But that could speak of this entire administration.

No-code convenience in #PhETStudio.
The advanced options menu lets you conveniently control the screens visible to students and save sim preferences such as language, regional portrayals, audio, default units, representations, and more! #InteractYourWay #iTeachPhysics #edusky
