Science on Stage is the European
network for STEM teachers focusing on the exchange of best practice
teaching ideas. One of its activities is bringing highly relevant topics
and new technologies to the classroom by developing teaching materials
from teachers for teachers.
Science on Stage will start a new project with the topic “Quantum Computing in
STEM Education”. 20 secondary teachers can take part and they will work
on the topic for around two years from 2024 to 2026.
In
the project, teachers first take part in a teacher training about
quantum computing and then develop and test teaching materials with the
following goals:
- usable directly in physics, mathematics and/or computer science classes by teachers with little previous experience;
- get students excited about the topic of quantum computing and show career opportunities in this area;
- knowledge transfer of the underlying, fundamental quantum mechanical concepts;
- promote analytical and critical thinking, teamwork and problem-solving skills;
- clarify the relevance of this technology for the future.
Application process
20 secondary
teachers can take part and work in international teams for about 2
years. Attendance at two two-day meetings in early 2024
(either 26-28 January or 16-18 February) and spring 2025 is mandatory.
The project is organised by Science on Stage Germany and supported by
the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation. All travel and accommodation
costs as well as food will be covered.
As the number of participants is limited
to 20, the time of receipt of the application will also be taken into
account. All interested teachers are invited to apply soon (see by application form below.)
