Welcome to the Qiskit Fall Fest at Lehigh! We're so excited to have you all here. The Qiskit Fall Fest is a collection of quantum computing events on college campuses around the world, with the support of IBM Quantum.
The IBM Qiskit Fest at Lehigh is targeted towards students with no experience, and it is going to be a series of workshops, a coding challenge, and a talk from Francesco Valenti, an IBM Quantum Software Developer, who is coming to Lehigh in-person talk to you about the Quantum Computing field and opportunities in it for you! Come join us and get a chance to win IBM Qiskit merch, as well as broaden your skills and resume! We will host a prep session for those who want to prepare for the challenge more on October 3, 6 PM at BI 105, as well as a Prize Ceremony & Social after the Fest.
Freshmen get a 5x10 credit for one of the first two sessions! You only need to attend one of the first two sessions for 5x10 credit, but we encourage you to attend both!
Please see below for more details on the main day of the event:
