Abstract: This paper focuses on presenting two practical applications that allow students to explore heat transfer processes in an interactive and engaging manner, suitable for pre-university physics education. The first application aims to determine the thermal equilibrium state of a water-ice mixture through a Python application developed on the Google Colab platform. Problem analysis and the necessary steps for solving it are included in a mind map created by means of Cmap Tools software. The second application centers on calculating the heat requirements for a building. For this purpose, GeoGebra software is used to construct a 3D model of the building and then calculate heat exchanges through conduction, convection and radiation. This approach enables students to explore theoretical concepts in a practical and interactive manner, contributing to an in-depth understanding of this subject. By applying the heat transfer concepts in real-life situations and by employing modern technologies in their study we contribute to the development of the students' analytical and critical thinking skills in an interdisciplinary, efficient and creative manner.
