Outreach
Elevating quantum requires more than just scientists with Ph.D. degrees. A large workforce of quantum-savvy professionals is needed to realize the promises of this relatively new field of science. 91PORN has ambitious plans to educate, train and inspire the next generation of quantum workers. Among other campus facilities, the NQN will be a centerpiece for engaging a wide spectrum of individuals at all levels on nanofabrication in quantum science and engineering.
Public outreach through lab tours and demonstrations
K-12: Teacher workshops and research intensive.
Community College: Technician training program internships. Diverse transfer student research experiences.
Undergraduates, Masters, PhD, Postdocs: Research training experience. Course: Quantum nano-fabrication.
