IQUIST Outreach Efforts
IQUIST is committed to promoting opportunities to explore Quantum Information Science and Engineering to prepare the next quantum ready workforce. IQUIST outreach vision is to provide teachers with resources to implement quantum education in their classroom, build sustainable partnerships to promote quantum across Illinois, and provide campus programs that will give students relative experience in the quantum industry.
IQUIST Broader Impact
IQUIST has continued to grow outreach initiatives along with our partners from The Chicago Quantum Exchange, Hybrid Quantum Architectures and Networks (HQAN) and Public Quantum Network (PQN). IQUIST has hosted or collaborated Quantum Information Science Education programs and lessons for K-12 students, community based organizations, and mass public events. Through those outreach initiatives IQUIST has reached diverse populations to increase awareness of Quantum Information Science and Engineering in Illinois.
Students Interested in Outreach
IQUIST is looking for undergraduate and graduate students that are interested in volunteering for outreach initiatives and special events. This is a great method to gain experience promoting Quantum and to network with students and faculty members.
