The WeTeach_Quantum Hub is a professional development initiative designed to help Texas educators introduce foundational quantum concepts to their students.
Through a dedicated cohort model, educators will strengthen their content knowledge and pedagogy by participating in a series of workshops and will receive classroom-ready lessons aligned with physics, cybersecurity, and computer science.
Educators are allowed to participate in only one hub per year, as scheduling conflicts prevent concurrent participation in multiple hubs.
