The project led by Lukas Chrostowski at the University of British Columbia (UBC), along with co-investment from the Canadian Digital Technology Supercluster, academic (UBC Geering Up Engineering Outreach) and industrial partners (D-Wave Systems and Microsoft) delivers ready-to-use education kits and curriculum targeting K-12 students; workshops, summer camps, and public forums, including specialized programming for girls and Indigenous students; teacher training through an online quantum computing resource hub and a EdX course for Grade 10-12 teachers; and a limited series Quantum Bits podcast that hosts well-known international academics and experts.

The computing kits and curriculum tools includes software that interfaces to the D-Wave quantum processor. The kit includes a teacher’s guide to the concept of quantum computing and its applications, and a basic handbook to enable students to create their own software experiments. All materials are developed using evidence-based practices, with content designed for a diverse audience. With indigenous people underrepresented in STEM careers, the project also works with Indigenous education leaders to deliver proactive community-based outreach to one of the fastest-growing populations in the country.
