Quantum 100

Ella Meyer
Quantum Computing Outreach Coordinator, UBC Geering Up Engineering Outreach, Canada
Ella Meyer is an advocate for a quantum education that is inclusive, engaging, and accessible. In her outreach roles at the University of British Columbia, Meyer is creating opportunities for more learners to engage with quantum technologies, developing programs that make quantum learning accessible to students, teachers, and underrepresented communities.
Meyer’s background in astronomy from the University of British Columbia provided her foundation in physics and scientific communication, which she now applies to outreach. She manages workshops, summer camps, teacher training, and interactive kits that introduce students to quantum principles.
Through collaborating with major businesses and organizations, Meyer has amplified the reach of these programs while mentoring student instructors and developing culturally responsive curricula. Her work demonstrates how education and mentorship have a massive impact on cultivating the next generation of quantum professionals.
