Description

The Quantum for All project is designed to expand Quantum Information Science education in precollege education. The professional development model includes an opportunity for teachers to learn QIS and then teach a summer camp. In this presentation, we will examine growth in student knowledge and confidence in the QIS, as well as attitudes the students have around the topics and careers in QIS. We will also correlate these findings with teacher content knowledge and confidence for the various topics, since some topics were initially unfamiliar to the teachers.
