Description

Quantum is a weird and wonderful way to get students interested in STEM. In addition, as new quantum technologies are realized it will be important for students to understand some of the basic concepts on which this technology is built and how it might be used in a variety of fields. We have been working with teachers to create new QIS materials for students from elementary school through high school and to help them identify existing materials that might be appropriate for their classrooms. In addition, one of us has been teaching a university course, “Ideas in Quantum Science and Technology,” with no pre-requisites. We will present some of the resources we have been developing and using so that teachers can consider how they might incorporate QIS in their classroom at any level.
