Description

Quantum Information Science (QIS) is in its second technological revolution. STEM teachers can learn about quantum effects and effective curricular connections appropriate for high school students. Exposing K-12 teachers to quantum concepts that surround them, such as credit card security, phones, computers, and basic technology, can help develop a "quantum smart" population. Quantum for All developed the hands-on activities presented through an initiative of STEM Experts, sponsored by UT Arlington and funded by the National Science Foundation. The hands-on activities in this workshop can support K-12 educators in learning about the intriguing quantum world. This hands-on workshop will show how to integrate Quantum Information Science(QIS) concepts into your lesson plans. Besides hands-on activities, you will leave with access to resources and confidence to present this emerging technology to your students.
