Description
As part of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025, the Indian Association of Physics Teachers is launching a quantum physics outreach program for secondary and first-year undergraduate students. The program aims to make students aware of quantum science and related technologies through targeted topics. A case study on de Broglie’s matter wave hypothesis leading to the electron microscope will be presented. The program includes creating doodles, a webinar with teachers, and a concept inventory of multiple-choice questions for students. The effectiveness of visual learning through doodles will be assessed, and results will be shared at the conference.
