Education Resources for Teachers, Students, and Families

K-12 QISE Framework

Explore how you can incorporate QISE into your instruction! We have collaboratively developed a guide that outlines how quantum fits into K-12 STEM curricula. As quantum learning modules are developed, we will share those and update this framework.

QuanTime

Learn more about QISE with QuanTime! This collection of hands-on activities and educational resources is designed to help teachers and organizations bring QISE opportunities to more learners. Each activity includes teacher and student guides and is designed to last 45-60 minutes.

QISE Careers

Explore what is possible with a QISE career! These resources, designed for middle and high school students, explore the many job titles within QISE, career pathways, and where you can study QISE. Students can also meet QISE professionals to learn more about working in the field.

Quantum Information Science and Engineering Education in a Nutshell

QISE education at the K-12 level is just getting started. The Q-12 community is focused on developing both informal and formal learning opportunities for teachers, students, and families. These resources include new lessons, events, free access to quantum technologies, and information about careers. The National Q-12 Partnership is compiling information about these resources in a central location, making it easily accessible to teachers, students, families, and policymakers.

Who we are

The National Q-12 Education Partnership includes tech companies, scientific professional societies, academics, and the NSF-funded Q2Work Program. Together, we aim to support and grow a quantum-ready workforce, such that the QIS innovators of tomorrow can make discoveries, invent new technologies and drive societal change. We want to increase opportunities, access, and quality of age-appropriate QIS educational experiences for all students nationwide.
