This repository holds the learning materials for the Introduction to Quantum Computing workshop for High School STEM Students.
The repository contains:
- A lesson plan for teachers and volunteers who would like to deliver the workshop on their own. (Strongly encouraged before delivering the workshop to students.)
- Presentation slides for long and short deliveries
The website to accompany this workshop is live at intro2qc.uvic.ca.
