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 on 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. No prior knowledge
required.
This past week has honestly been life-changing and eye-opening! I am looking forward to exploring quantum for the rest of my life.
This camp is such an awesome opportunity and I am so honored to be a part of it! I especially enjoyed the afternoon labs where we were able to use actual quantum computers to reinforce our lecture from the morning. If you see me in fields of quantum computing in the future, just know I started here.
I loved TCS, the people were amazing, the TAs were nice and interactive, etc. Y'all really worked hard to make the experience welcoming. Before the camp, I had a vague idea of what quantum programming and quantum physics actually was, but now that I've been exposed to the actual content itself, I'm interested in studying up in the field, if not eventually pursuing a career in it.
I loved learning the challenging concepts in quantum computing and to be able to apply what I learned during the hands-on activity. I am looking forward to further developing my understanding and my skills in quantum computing and be able to apply this to my future research area.
This camp did an amazing job introducing such un-intuitive and complex concepts. Even though I came in without any physics or calculus, I'm now more than excited to take those classes to better grasp what I have learned. This has been such an inspiring and informative camp that I definitely want to learn more and do graduate school research on quantum computing!
As a high schoo student, I never believed I would be able to learn the concepts and technologies that modern day scientists are actively working with at such an in-depth level. Being able to delve into these high level concepts that I can envision myself using in a career has lit a fire in me to further explore these subjects in physics and computer science.
The camp was an incredible way to become exposed to the growing field of Quantum Computing. This field has so many possibilities and different applications that can be expanded on in the future and I am excited to continue my journey with it. The researchers were extremely knowledgeable and it was a great way to learn from the pioneers of the field. I would recommend this camp to anyone who is interested in coding or math because it is quite literally the future.

Tech Requirements
Summer camps are instructed live in English virtually during the EST time zone over the dates listed. Students will require access to reliable broadband on a device that is audio and video capable, ideally from a quiet and distraction-free environment. Devices may include computers, laptops, notebooks, and Chromebooks. Students will need to access Zoom and Google Co-lab from their devices to participate fully in the course.
Scholarships
Limited scholarship funds are available to cover the cost of
tuition for eligible, US-based students that exemplify need and
alignment with The Coding School’s mission. Students from
traditionally underrepresented backgrounds in STEM are encouraged
to apply. The deadline to apply for a scholarship is May 31.
Scholarship awardees will be notified by June 7.
Completing an application does not guarantee that an applicant
will receive a scholarship. Scholarships will be distributed using
a lottery system on a rolling basis until the application closes
on May 31. Applicants will be notified by June 7 at the latest of
one of three possible outcomes: scholarship recipient, waitlist,
or not selected for a scholarship. If selected, recipients will
have 72-hours to accept their spot. If waitlisted, applicants will
be contacted if a recipient does not accept their scholarship, or
if additional scholarships are funded.
