Angela M. Kelly is a Professor of Physics and STEM Education and the Director of the MAT Program in Physics at Stony Brook University, New York.
Quantum Education for Students and Teachers (QuEST), a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Division of Research and Learning ITEST Developing and Testing Innovations partnership between a research university and an urban informal science institution, advances quantum education, physical science literacy, and the diversification of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pipeline through improved quantum science and quantum computing access, teaching, and learning for precollege (grades 9-12) students and teachers. Student outcomes (N=262) include improved quantum information science and technology (QIST) knowledge and attitudes, as well as increased intentions to enroll in four years of mathematics and science in high school. Teacher outcomes (N=68) include improved QIST knowledge and pedagogical self-efficacy. This project is a replicable model of university-based QIST outreach to inspire the next generation quantum workforce in industry, research, and academia.
