MANIM in Physics Teaching is a lecture and hands-on workshop showing how modern animation can make physics clearer, more intuitive, and more engaging. Using Manim, an open-source Python library for animations, we will demonstrate how to turn equations, diagrams, and data into dynamic visual explanations that help students build accurate mental models of physical processes.

The session will present practical examples from physics, highlighting how animation supports conceptual understanding, reduces common misconceptions, and improves retention. In the workshop part, participants will see a simple end-to-end workflow (idea → script → animation) and learn how Manim can be integrated into lectures, labs, and online materials with reusable, customizable content.

Invited speaker: Uwe Zimmermann from Uppsala University
