Self-paced courses are everywhere. Live, instructor-led programs are rarer, and they're where most people actually finish. These are the ones we've verified as currently running, with their next start date or interest form attached.
Three sections: For kids (middle and high schoolers), For adults (undergrads, grad students, professionals), and For teachers (K-12 and university educators).
For kids
Middle and high school students.
Five-week summer research program for grades 10–12 and rising college freshmen. Students work on real quantum research projects with university mentors.

Teaching with Qubi
Want hands-on hardware in the classroom?
Qubi is a model qubit your students can hold. Spin it, watch it collapse, build intuition. Used in classrooms and at conferences.
