We’re excited to announce the 11th Quantum for Educators (QEd) workshop, which will be held July 16-18 on-campus at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo. This workshop, formerly known as Schrödinger’s Class, focuses on accessible, affordable, and appropriate ways to introduce quantum mechanics and quantum technology to high-school students.



QEd Participants will leave with ready-to-use activities and concrete curriculum connections to celebrate the 2025 UNESCO International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. QEd explores fundamental concepts like superposition, wave-particle duality, and entanglement as well as applications in existing technology like atomic clocks and emerging technologies like quantum computing.
 
Financial support for travel and accommodations is available for Canadian teachers. Applications are due Monday April 21.

Do you have students who might be interested in quantum science and technology? Applications are also open for IQC’s high-school student workshop, the Quantum School for Young Students. This workshop is open to all students across Canada in grades 10-12, and will be held online from August 11-15. For students in the Waterloo Region, an in-person lab day will be open on August 18 where they can work with real quantum experiments. Applications are open until June 8.
 
Please contact iqc-outreach@uwaterloo.ca with any questions.
