2026 World Quantum Day Kits

This year, our World Quantum Day celebration in April marks the opening of our application period to register to recieve a FREE Introduction to Quantum Kit from QCORE. This kit focuses on Quantum scale, unique Quantum properties and a broad introduction to Quantum computing. Because it explores basic concepts, it is appropriate for a younger age group than our previous World Quantum Day kits. This kit is ideal for upper elementary (grades 4-5) and middle school (grades 6-8).

If you would like to recieve an Introduction to Quantum kit, please apply below. Preference will be given to grade 4-8 teachers from rural schools. Previous World Quantum Day kit recipients are still encouraged to apply as these kits contain new and different activities. No educator experience in Quantum is required to apply for a kit!

The kit will include:

  • resources about Quantum Science
  • fun Quantum promotional items for your class
  • lesson plans and materials for your class, including all supplies and printables needed

Important Information

  • Montana educators and youth leaders are eligible to apply. 
  • Educators from across the US may apply - we will have a limited quantity to ship nationally.
  • The supplies and equipment are yours to keep and use again
  • A short feedback form is requested at conclusion of the project. We will request you submit an artifact such as photos, video clips, student reports, artwork or other artifacts from your World Quantum Day celebration.
  • Application deadline is June 15, 2026 
  • Kits will be available in early August and can be picked up at the STEM Summer Institute August 3-5, 2026 if you plan to attend. Any kits not picked up at the STEM Summer Institute will be shipped in early August.
  • An online training and/or recording will be available.
