Project objectives:

The project responds to the growing importance of quantum technologies and the need for systematic education in this field from early stages of learning. Its main objective is to create an open educational platform connecting students, educators, and experts across the Czech–Bavarian region.

The primary target group consists of upper primary and secondary school students, for whom the project will present the principles and real-world applications of quantum technologies in an accessible and interactive way.

The project activities include:

expert workshops and popular science lectures,
summer schools and extracurricular educational activities,
online courses accessible regardless of location,
cross-border educational activities fostering collaboration between Czech and German participants.

The project aims to engage at least 200 participants and support their interest in STEM fields. At the same time, it contributes to overcoming language and cultural barriers and strengthens regional cooperation.

An important component of the project is also the training of educators through a specialized micro-credential course, enabling them to further disseminate knowledge of quantum technologies within schools.

The project contributes to building a long-term innovation ecosystem in the region and supports the future career development of young talents in advanced technologies.
