This forum is designed for principals and science/STEM teachers and offers a fun, interactive professional learning experience. The session introduces educators to emerging career opportunities in the quantum sector and highlights the importance of Physics, Chemistry, and higher-level Mathematics in Years 11 and 12.

Our aim is to support schools in becoming “Quantum Navigator Schools,” empowering them to guide students toward future careers in the growing quantum industry.

 The workshop will:

• Introduce the fundamentals of quantum science in an accessible, classroom-ready format

• Showcase newly developed quantum education resources

• Provide practical strategies for engaging students—particularly girls and other underrepresented groups

• Feature interactive activities and quantum-themed board games

• Provide participants with an A0 interactive quantum poster for use in their classrooms

REGISTRATIONS OPEN SOON!

Join us for an exciting journey into the world of quantum science with the Quantum Girls Hackathon! Hackathons are designed to spark curiosity, foster innovation, and build a vibrant community of young learners passionate about quantum computing and physics. Whether you're a beginner or an aspiring quantum expert our hackathons will take your education to the next level and connect you with like-minded peers and mentors. Our mission is to make quantum science accessible and engaging by providing hands-on opportunities to explore quantum concepts through coding, collaboration, and creativity.

Hackathons introduce students to the basic concepts of quantum science, quantum computing and inspire curiosity by challenging students with interesting and sometimes mind-bending challenges. Hackathons are design to:

• Foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving skills;

• Promote teamwork and collaboration; and

• Cultivate a continuing interest in STEM and its application.

You don’t need to be a science nerd to develop quantum thinking. Our hackathons include music, art, drama and stories, as well as quantum coding, quantum science and quantum entrepreneurship.
