Information Science and Engineering (QISE) concepts intoK-12 education offers a valuable opportunity to introduce students to cutting-edge scientificadvancements and technologies shaping the future. As quantum technologies increasinglyinfluence fields such as computing, communications, and materials science, there is a growinginterest in exploring how foundational quantum concepts can be meaningfully introduced to pre-college students. National initiatives, including those supported by the Department of Defenseand the National Science Foundation, emphasize the importance of raising awareness of QISEamong students and educators. These efforts align with the National Quantum CoordinationOffice’s recommendation to expand pathways for QISE education by
