Are you a CS educator curious about quantum computing but don’t know where to start? Are you wondering if there are any fun, engaging resources to introduce middle-school and high-school students to quantum concepts? While traditional instruction typically occurs in advanced college courses, we have developed fun, accessible resources that MS and HS educators can use in their classroom.
In this tutorial, we tailor content to educators with no prior quantum computing knowledge to enable them to confidently run activities in their MS & HS classrooms or at outreach events. We teach using a combination of slides, hands-on activities, games and elementary Python programming to provide a variety of learning opportunities and build familiarity with different avenues for teaching.
Attendees will be invited, but not required, to participate in a research project.
NSF has generously provided funding for 20 K-12 teachers to attend our tutorial at SIGCSE 25. The scholarship is intended to cover airfare, hotel (2 nights), and single-day registration, up to a total of $1300 per educator. The tutorial will be held from 3:30-6:30pm on March 1st, 2025 in Pittsburgh, PA, at SIGCSE 2025. Participation in the tutorial is required for reimbursement.
