Activity Description

A Sandbox for Teaching and Learning in Quantum CI for Pre-University and Undergraduate Students 

▪ Bring more participants to our IEEE CIS conferences and competitions.

▪ Increase the HS outreach by IEEE CIS.

▪ Educate young students (High School and undergraduate) through a fun competition.

▪ The idea is to create a young student workshop with an associated competition inspired by the F.I.R.S.T. robotics competition. 

• Before or during the first hours of the event, students will receive learning materials and guidance from tutors to learn about a Quantum CI-related topic. 

• Later, students will be enabled to test learned materials in a simple real-world application. 

• Namely, programming robots and learning tools to solve various tasks. 

• On the day of the competition, students should team up with students to encourage cooperation. 

• Promote STEM education for young students in IEEE CIS. 

• Motivate undergraduate or pre-university students globally to explore Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques using Quantum CI hardware/software. 

• Encourage young students and researchers to apply Quantum CI techniques in real-world scenarios. 

• Prerequisites: No prerequisites required 

• During the event, we will offer three workshops in which students first learn about a Quantum CI-related topic and later have the chance to apply learned skills in a competitive task. 

  • Workshop 1: Concept-based Learning including Fuzzy Sets and Systems, Evolutionary Computation, and Quantum Computational Intelligence. 

  • Workshop 2: Experience-based & Operation-based Learning 

  • Workshop 3: Learning Experience Sharing 

• Participation Way: Online @ Google Meet or Onsite @ NTNU, Norway 

  • Online: The main participants come from international school students for Workshop 1. 

  • OnSite: The main participants come from the local school students & volunteers.
