Quantum for All Workshops and Camps
June was a busy month for leaders, teachers, and students involved in the Quantum for All workshops and camps. Teachers attended 4 days of workshops and then hosted 4 days of student camps at multiple locations across the country. Sites included Arlington and Katy TX, Baltimore MD, Provo UT, and Univ. of Wisconsin River Falls, WI. Next summer there will be more student camps in an effort to help more students have access to these unique opportunities. Stay tuned for more details.
There were several news articles published on the events. Links to articles:

This page will identify any upcoming PD quantum workshops or sessions that are relevant to quantum, but we also encourage you to follow us on social media, join our email list, and browse any prior sessions that have been offered (see Resources).
As we continue to develop and disseminate materials relevant to K-12 students, we will be offering those resources in our Store. We encourage you to check back regularly, as we develop these resources, as well as suggest topics you feel would be of interest to the K-12 educational community.
