Be one of the first middle school students in the world to learn about the exciting field of quantum computing! Through hands-on activities, students learn about key concepts of quantum mechanics and quantum computing, including qubits, superposition, and entanglement. They will even learn how to create quantum circuits that can be run on a real quantum computer!
Sarah received her BA in Chemistry from Rutgers University in 2014 and received her PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from MIT in 2020. During her PhD, she worked on improving the efficiency of LEDs as part of the Laboratory for Nanophotonics and Electronics, and improving the experience of graduate students as part of the MIT Graduate Student Council. Sarah’s passion is for teaching, and she has worked with students from the preK-college level. In her free time, Sarah can be found singing, writing, and thinking about the interdisciplinary nature of quantum mechanics.
