Montana Educators: Apply for free resources to celebrate World Quantum Day on April 14, 2024
Teachers can apply to receive a free kit of resources to celebrate World Quantum Day on or near April 14, 2024.
World Quantum Day is an international event held on April 14 to generate interest in quantum science. Quantum is the science of atoms and particles which are the building blocks of the universe! Scientists have used quantum mechanics to create technology we use every day such as the chips in smartphones. What exciting technology will be discovered next?
Our goal is to help educators and youth engage in the work of Quantum Science through providing lesson kits for teachers to use on World Quantum Day. No teacher expertise in quantum science required!
The kit will include:
- Resources about Quantum Science!
- A banner to hang at your school and other fun shwag for your class!
- Lesson plans and materials for your class, including all supplies and printables needed. The supplies and equipment are yours to keep.
Activities are designed for grades 6-12 but can easily be scaled up or down. Plan to use your kit on or near to World Quantum Day on April 14th.
A short feedback form is requested at conclusion of the project We will request you submit an artifact such as photos, video clips, student reports, artwork or other artifacts from your World Quantum Celebration! All Montana educators and youth leaders are eligible to apply.
Application deadline is March 16, 2024. For questions, contact Elizabeth Green at elizabethgreen5@montana.edu.
Apply here for an MSU kit. All Montana applicants will also be entered into a raffle from QuanTime 2024, so you may also win a thank you gift including a QuanTime t-shirt for the teacher, as well as assorted goodies for students.
