What is QCamp?

A four-week, hands-on summer camp where highschoolers and educators get a deep dive into the weird but powerful world of quantum computing.

• No prior knowledge is required– Basic algebra is all that’s required.
• Real-world quantum computing – students build quantum circuits and run them on an actual IBM quantum computer.
• It’s free AND you get paid – Students and teachers receive stipends, so they don’t have to choose between learning and working a summer job.

QCamp 2025 Dates

• Student Camp: June 30 – July 25, 2025 (Applications close April 1)
• Educator Camp: June 16 – June 20, 2025 (Applications close April 14)

What is QuanTime New Mexico?

An initiative bringing bite-sized quantum activities to K-12 classrooms, modeled after Hour of Code to fit within a single class period.

• Engaging & Accessible – No prior quantum knowledge needed; activities range from elementary to high school levels.
• Hands-on Learning – Students explore quantum concepts through interactive projects like binary coding bracelets and wave-particle duality experiments.
• Support for Educators – Free lesson plans, classroom kits, and up to $150 stipends for teachers implementing QuanTime activities.

QuanTime 2025 Highlights

• 538 attendees at the Explora kickoff event, featuring 14 quantum activity booths.
• 52 teachers trained, with 405 students participating in classroom quantum lessons.
• Resources Available Now – Access lesson plans, training recordings, and activity guides online.

Quantum Learning Lab: Hands-On Training for Quantum Careers

The Quantum Learning Lab (QuLL) is a 10-week, in-person training program designed to teach the technical skills needed to work in quantum technology and advanced manufacturing. Students will gain hands-on experience with lasers, optics, vacuum systems, and quantum computing fundamentals to prepare for jobs in semiconductors, solar energy, and opto-electronics.
