The quantuminformation science subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council identifiesthat one of the main challenges faced by Quantum Information Science and Technology (QIST)is the development of a diverse workforce [7]. This is where our project comes in. We developed and held a two-day, quantum summerschool, specifically calling for underrepresented student participation, in the summer of 2024.This workshop brought in speakers from academia and industry. The academic speakers focusedon presenting concepts or recent research efforts in QIST. The industry speakers gavepresentations on the current
