This workshop aims to be another step towards establishing connections between the QT and technology assessment (TA) communities and to introduce some current discussions in the QT community to a new audience. It is organized as part of the QuTec project under Karlsruhe Institute of Technology – Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS).
Join us June 9-13, 2025, in Washington, DC, for a week filled with community building and “good, old-fashioned family fun” – complete with uncomfortable conversations, games of capture the flag, and leading the quantum revolution. Summer camp is about learning from new experiences and growing together to become better humans.
We will have activities for the whole family; however, the week is geared towards helping individuals 13-25 years old begin their journey into the future with a Competency-based Portfolio built for a future in quantum intelligence, ethical social engineering, and sustainable globalization (or similar fields) to support the workforce needs of the future. The Competency-based Curriculum and Supplemental Learning Activities are meant to enhance the public schooling experience and teach open-source research techniques that will aid students in their learning journey.
A IV Gincana Cultural e Esportiva se propõe a ser um projeto transformador, adaptado aos princípios da responsabilidade social, da filantropia e da interação, atendendo aos requisitos da BNCC. Este projeto visa proporcionar momentos repletos de atividades que incentivem o aprendizado, a criatividade e a integração entre os alunos, destacando a importância do papel de cada estudante na sociedade.
As atividades propostas irão: Ampliar conhecimento científico; promover a responsabilidade social: através de ações de solidariedade Fomentar a filantropia, incentivando os alunos a praticar a compaixão e a generosidade. Estimular a interação: A gincana proporcionará momentos de integração entre os alunos de diferentes séries e segmentos, fortalecendo os laços de amizade. Sendo um importante projeto para o desenvolvimento das competências gerais da BNCC – Base Nacional Comum Curricular para o Ensino Fundamental Anos Finais e Ensino Médio a saber: conhecer e explorar diferentes práticas de linguagem; utilizar diferentes linguagens, mídias e ferramentas digitais em processos de produção coletiva; compreender as linguagens como construções históricas, sociais, científicas, culturais e humanas; utilizar linguagens diferentes, como verbal, corporal, visual, sonora e digital. Portanto, a gincana será muito mais do que uma atividade recreativa, será uma experiência de aprendizado significativa, que contribua para a formação integral dos estudantes, preparando-os para serem cidadãos mais conscientes, responsáveis e engajados na construção de uma sociedade mais justa e equitativa.
A UNESCO celebra 2025 como o Ano Internacional da Ciência e das Tecnologias Quânticas. E esse será o tema da nossa gincana. A escolha do tema “A UNESCO celebra 2025 como o Ano Internacional da Ciência e das Tecnologias Quânticas” se justifica pela relevância atual dessas áreas no avanço da ciência e da tecnologia. Este tema permitirá que os alunos se familiarizem com conceitos e inovações que podem moldar o futuro, como computação quântica, criptografia quântica e novos materiais. Além disso, o estímulo ao interesse científico com a inclusão desse tema na gincana pode despertar a curiosidade e o interesse dos alunos pela ciência, incentivando a busca por conhecimento em um campo que está em expansão e que possui um grande potencial para transformar diversas indústrias. As tecnologias quânticas interagem com várias disciplinas, como física, matemática, informática e engenharia. Isso permite que os alunos integrem conhecimentos de diferentes áreas e desenvolvam uma visão mais holística sobre como a ciência pode ser aplicada em diversas situações. Trabalhar com temas complexos como a ciência quântica estimula o desenvolvimento de habilidades do pensamento crítico e criatividade.
Os alunos precisarão encontrar formas de entender e apresentar essas ideias de maneira acessível e interessante, promovendo um aprendizado ativo. Celebrar um ano internacional dedicado a um tema científico ajuda a promover valores como colaboração e um compromisso global com a ciência para o bem comum, alinhando-se com a missão da UNESCO de fomentar a paz e a segurança por meio da educação, ciência e cultura. A gincana pode ser uma excelente oportunidade para os alunos trabalharem em equipe, desenvolvendo projetos e atividades baseados nas tecnologias quânticas, o que promove habilidades de colaboração e trabalho em equipe. Discutir as ciências quânticas também permite uma reflexão sobre o futuro das carreiras científicas, inspirando os alunos a considerar seguir caminhos na pesquisa e desenvolvimento neste campo promissor. Ao adotar o tema do Ano Internacional da Ciência e das Tecnologias Quânticas, a gincana do Colégio Santa Luzia não só se torna uma plataforma de diversão e cooperação, mas também um espaço de aprendizado e reflexão sobre o papel da ciência na sociedade moderna.

En el marc de l’Any Internacional de la Quàntica, ICFO proposa el següent taller de criptografia quàntica amb fotons de colors.
En un món digital com el nostre, on moltíssima informació sensible (financera, sanitària, etc.) és accessible per internet, la ciberseguretat és fonamental. La criptografia quàntica, basada en les propietats dels objectes a l’escala microscòpica (ex. àtoms i fotons), promet distribuir les nostres dades de manera més segura, protegint-nos d’eventuals noves tecnologies que podrien trencar els mètodes criptogràfics actuals i revelant fins i tot la presència d’un espia. Convidarem els visitants a reproduir un sistema de comunicació òptica. Podran crear un codi criptogràfic per enviar informació de manera segura i podran fer-lo servir, enviant llum de diferents colors dins d’una fibra òptica.
Immerse yourself in the world of photonics thanks to 4 ICFO female scientists, who will tell in 5 minutes in an attractive and inspiring way why photonics is important for their research and society in general. You can also send them your questions about science and their careers.
This event is aimed at students between 9th and 12th grade (second cycle of ESO and bachillerato) and will be in Spanish.
Photonics in 5 minutes! is organized in the framework of ICFO Women in Science Month to celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, joining the Iniciativa 11 de Febrero.
Quantum physics challenges our most basic intuitions, yet it provides astonishingly accurate predictions on the behavior of matter and energy at atomic and subatomic scales. Without it, we wouldn’t have developed useful technologies, such as Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER), Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), transistors, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners for medical diagnostics or Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, which relies on atomic clocks. We are at the second quantum technological revolution, with quantum computers being one of the most promising frontiers.
We invite you to take a journey to the core of Quantum Physics, starting from its foundations, and building day by day the basis to understand the upcoming quantum technologies. The project will combine theoretical learning with practical experiments, allowing you to enjoy a journey into secure communication starting with an introduction to mathematical language (basic algebra and matrices) followed by the theory on quantum physics and cryptography and computer simulations in a friendly environment. In the end, you will work in groups for a hands-on experiment and will witness how quantum physics is strictly connected to information processing and how it can improve current technologies, such as communications, cryptography, and computing.
ICFO will offer you the unique opportunity to visit ICFO laboratories and spin-offs, and the Cybersecurity Agency of Catalonia. This experience will showcase not only the practical and fundamental aspects of quantum cryptography but also its real-world applications. You will witness what it is like to be at the forefront of cutting-edge research in quantum cryptography and secure communications.
Even if it may seem incredible, quantum physics has an important impact on our daily lives. Richard Feynman said that it is safe to say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. But during your stay at ICFO, we challenge you to prove him wrong: understand the basics of quantum physics and discover how many new technologies can stem from it so you can be an active part of the quantum revolution!
