This is a self-paced, game-based educational program offered annually as part of our global education efforts. It is free to participate in and is meant to give participants a solid foundational understanding and proficiency in quantum computing, some of its applications, and Qiskit. This program is comprised of engaging study materials, seminars, gamified achievements to unlock, community events, and career advice.
The theme of the learning journey is space exploration. You’ll embark on an interstellar journey as the captain of a starship and grow proficiency in quantum computing along the way.
This program covers all audiences aged 14+, from high school students to undergraduates to industry professionals to retired enthusiasts.
Highlights of this event:
- Features 7 space exploration themed achievements to unlock by completing learning tasks.
- Beginner-friendly, though it increases in difficulty as achievements are unlocked.
- Materials cover approximately 50-84 learning hours over the course of close to 7 months.
- Heavy community focus that fosters organic collaborations and networking opportunities
