Empowering Educators to Teach the Future of Computing
June 22-26, 2026 | Columbia, Missouri
Master Tomorrow’s Technology Today
Quantum, Computing, Mathematics, & Physics Camp (QCaMP) is a professional learning experience designed to introduce K–12 educators to quantum information science and technology. Through guided instruction, hands-on activities, and classroom-ready resources, teachers gain the confidence and tools needed to bring emerging quantum concepts into their curriculum—no prior quantum experience required.
This program is offered in partnership with Sandia National Laboratories and tailored for Missouri educators.
What Awaits You
Quantum Foundations
Develop a clear, conceptual understanding of quantum computing, qubits, superposition, and entanglement—taught in educator-friendly language. Lectures will be provided by experts in the field.
Classroom-Ready Instructional Resources
Explore standards-aligned lessons, activities, and demonstrations you can immediately adapt for middle and high school classrooms. Any subject area can be enhanced with these low-prep lessons.
Interactive & Applied Learning
Participate in hands-on simulations, discussions, and activities that make abstract quantum concepts approachable and engaging for students. We will even send you home with a goody bag of supplies to use with your students!
