Inspire the next generation.

Quantum is the technology of their lifetime. Run hands-on demos that make entanglement and superposition click for any audience, from kids to executives.

Join a community.

Learn alongside a cohort of passionate people who share your curiosity, and stay connected with fellow ambassadors after you graduate.

The best way to learn is to teach it.

Four modules take you from first principles to running a live demo in front of any audience.

  1. 01

    Quantum fundamentals

    Qubits, superposition, measurement and entanglement, built on intuition first so you can explain them to anyone.

  2. 02

    Applications

    What quantum computers, networks and sensors can do, where the field is heading, and how to tell real progress from hype.

  3. 03

    Careers

    The roles, skills and paths into the quantum industry, so you can guide others and chart your own next step.

  4. 04

    Demo with model qubits

    Learn to run live demos of key quantum concepts with Qubi, so audiences can hold entanglement in their hands.

Prepare for a quantum career.

Quantum companies, labs and schools need people who can explain the technology, not just build it. You'll learn the roles, skills and paths into the industry.

  • Know the roles and paths into the quantum industry
  • Speak about quantum with confidence, on stage or in an interview
  • A certification to put on your résumé and LinkedIn

Make quantum something people can hold.
