Upcoming STEM Events & Opportunities:

UCHICAGO QUANTUM QUICKSTART

The University of Chicago is excited to present the inaugural Quantum Quickstart program as a launchpad for Illinois high school students committed to improving real-world technologies.

This summer, Illinois high school students with a passion for STEM are invited to apply to Quantum Quickstart, a free, one-week accelerated session that introduces quantum engineering, led by faculty from UChicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering. Students will gain understanding of why the language of classical physics is not sufficient to describe our universe and be inspired to dive deeper into quantum mechanics and its applications.
