We will provide an update on the status of “PICUP” the “Partnership for Integration of Computation into Undergraduate Physics”. This will include the growth of the PICUP community (of physics teachers like yourself), as well as the resources that PICUP has to offer you. We will also discuss our recent "PICUP Virtual Conference" that was motivated by the current pandemic. This work is funded by the National Science Foundation under DUE IUSE grants 1524128, 1524493, 1524963, 1525062, and 1525525.
