Dive into the tech of tomorrow, learn about quantum and build quantum coding games at the annual Quantum Tech Camp 2025, designed for high school students in Years 9–12.
Into science and math? Love computer science or, technology? Curious about what a quantum computer actually is and how it really works?
If this sounds like you, then get ready to dive into the tech of tomorrow this October school break at our annual Quantum Tech Camp 2025 - for high school students in years 9-12.
Over three epic days, you’ll explore the weird and fascinating world of quantum computing through hands-on challenges, creative quantum coding, and quantum experiments, led by Dr. Chris Ferrie and a team of quantum mentors.
Spaces are limited, with some spots reserved for students from rural or remote areas and for First Nations and Torres Strait Islander students. Spaces are limited, with some spots reserved for students from rural or remote areas and for First Nations and Torres Strait Islander students.
No Experience? No Problem.
You don’t need to be a quantum genius to join. No matter if you’re a total beginner or already have some drag-and-drop coding experience (Scratch) under your belt, this camp is the perfect place to explore and grow.
What You Will Discover:
From the basics of computer science to creative game design and the mind-bending logic of quantum mechanics, here’s what you’ll explore:
Key Concepts Covered
Bring Quantum to Life Through Gaming
Get hands-on to build mini-games, tackle challenges, and crack interactive puzzles, all powered by quantum code. Experience quantum in action and have fun!
The Power of Quantum
Understand why quantum literacy a sought-after skill in technology, engineering, and science careers. Gain future-ready skills that top universities and tech companies are looking for.
What is a Quokka? (...and no, we don't mean the cute, furry marsupial).
Get hands on with the Quokka - a fit-in-the-hand personal quantum computer emulator. Use the device to run real quantum code and power your own games.
Meet Dr Chris Ferrie
Dr Chris Ferrie is an associate professor of quantum information at the University of Technology Sydney. His research blends quantum machine learning, estimation, and control. Beyond the lab, he is the award‑winning creator of the global Baby University series and more than 100 popular‑science titles, which have sold over four million copies and been translated into twenty languages. He is also co‑founder of Eigensystems, the company behind Quokka, the first handheld quantum‑computing teaching platform. Chris speaks at science festivals, schools, and conferences worldwide, driven by one mission: making the strangest ideas in the universe accessible - and fun for everyone.
