Eastside Quantum Computing Interns

Welcome to the Eastside Quantum Computing Interns!

Welcome to the official online resource center for the Eastside Quantum Computing Interns (EQCI). Founded in 2021, EQCI is a groundbreaking initiative designed to introduce students from historically underserved urban ZIP codes to the world of quantum computing.

We believe in increasing awareness, access, and opportunity, empowering middle, high school, and college students to become tomorrow’s tech leaders through early exposure to cutting-edge science, real-world applications, and community-driven innovation. We’re preparing students not just for the jobs of the future—but to lead them.

EQCI Quantum Literacy Curriculum

Our curriculum is a grassroots, project-based journey designed for middle school, high school, and college students. Our curriculum takes students on a 10-lesson journey from foundational concepts to advanced algorithms. But we go beyond the technical: EQCI trains leaders who are prepared to advocate for access and ethical technology in their own communities.

You will move beyond the theoretical to explore:

• The Qubit: The fundamental building block of quantum information.

• Quantum Logic: Understanding Gates and Algorithms.

• Foundations: The essential Math, Physics, Philosophy and Computer Science.

• Real-World Impact: Applications in medicine, materials science, climate, energy, and cryptography.
