Teaching Quantum Information in High School — •Mariana Filipova — University of Library Studies and Information Technologies, Sofia, Bulgaria

Quantum science and technology are developing at an ever faster and larger scale, and this necessitates new educational approaches and updates. School education aims, on the one hand, to prepare students for university and the labor market, and on the other hand, to motivate with its applicability and inspiring realizations towards the students' next choices, incl. STEM professions. In order to inspire young people at the most appropriate time to make these choices and strengthen the academy-business connection, it is increasingly necessary that secondary school students also become familiar with the basics of Quantum Information. This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of teaching quantum science concepts to school-aged students by adapting content and using appropriate and varied methodologies. The aim is to explain the seemingly complex science in an accessible way to middle schoolers and also to inspire young minds for future challenges. The current research highlights the need to update the curriculum and ways of applying recent STEM trends to the work of school-age students to meet the new demands of time and student interests, making quantum science both accessible and exciting for them.
