Description
In April 2025, we led one-day quantum education workshops for 34 middle and high school science teachers at Morgan State University and the University of Maryland, College Park.
These workshops stood out because of their clear teaching approach. Teachers began by using classical polarizing filters to understand polarization hands-on. Then, they moved on to quantum concepts such as single-photon behavior and superposition, using activities and discussions that linked classical and quantum concepts.
Teachers gained more than just new content knowledge. Each one created a clear plan to add polarization to their current lessons using a quantum approach. Our goal is not to create a separate quantum unit but to help teachers incorporate quantum thinking into what they already teach.
