Camp Overview
Be one of the first high school students in the world to
develop skills in quantum computing - the technology of the
future! Teleportation is no longer just for science fiction.
In quantum computing - it’s real. Can one particle be in
multiple places at the same time? In quantum physics - it’s
possible with superposition. Learn these weird wonders of
quantum computing along with the bizarre phenomena of
entanglement in our summer quantum computing camp. You’ll also
learn Qiskit, IBM’s quantum coding language and even run code
in a real quantum computer! This camp is like no other you’ve
experienced.
Through hands-on activities and projects, students learn how
to construct quantum circuits and algorithms all while
developing programming skills in Python. Taught by graduates
from top universities, such as MIT, Harvard, and more. No
prior knowledge required.
