Description

As quantum information science becomes a more prominent topic, high schools and colleges are thinking about how to incorporate these ideas into existing classes and new courses. We have been working with teachers to develop quantum activities and lessons for high school computer science, chemistry, and physics classes as well as to develop a new conceptual (no pre-requisites) university course. For the high school classes, we have worked with teachers to make sure that the activities would be appropriate for their classes and their students. The university course was taught in Spring 2024 and will be taught again in Spring 2025. We will discuss some of the activities and lessons that have been developed for these courses as well as the opportunities and challenges they present.
