I'm involved in 2 activities right now. 1) Writing design and simulation tools for streamlined bicycles<br> Examples can be found at this site: Recumbents.com</p> <p>2) Writing science education simulations for k-12 STEM education at local schools and an aviation museum (flight science).<br> Examples can be found at this site: <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/bikeflysci/home" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://sites.google.com/view/bikeflysci/home</a></p> <p>I've taught myself so far, primarily through trial and (t)error, and am looking for someone slightly above my experience level who can help me see what I need to learn next. I'm using Google Anti-gravity to create .html/.js apps that can run from the browser.</p> <p>In my past I've programmed in FORTRAN, BASIC, C, C++ and a few other dead languages. Now I'm mostly using AI to create the user interface. I let it create the physical modeling, but I'm knowledgable enough to check it for errors.<br> Any help and advice is appreciated - either through the comments or otherwise.<br> Thank you,<br> Nick</p> beginners javascript learning programming
