Workshop
The quantum game workshops serve a dual purpose: first, first, to spark the interest of HBO-ICT students in the world of quantum computing; and second, to explore how Quantum Inspire can support this learning journey.
A key part of the workshops is identifying the challenges students face when engaging with quantum computing for the first time, and developing strategies to overcome these barriers. With the growing relevance of quantum technology, it's anticipated that students with strong programming skills, like those from HBO-ICT, can play a significant role in shaping the future of the field.
Can I Join these workshops? 🧑💻
These workshops are designed for curious and ambitious students, especially those from HBO-ICT and similar backgrounds, who are eager to explore the world of quantum computing.
With a strong focus on programming skills, the sessions make advanced quantum concepts accessible without requiring a background in mathematics or physics, all you need is curiosity and a willingness to learn!
An Accessible First Step 🚀
Our Goal
The primary goal of these workshops is not to train students for immediate contributions to the quantum computing sector, but rather to spark interest in the field and lower the barriers that students may face when learning about quantum computing or pursuing internships in this area.
Serves as an Introduction
While the workshops offer a solid introduction, they are particularly suited for HBO-ICT students who are curious about quantum computing but may not have a background in physics or mathematics. For those who want to explore the subject in greater depth, there are other pathways available, such as the Quantum Computing Minor at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam, or the Master’s in Applied Quantum Technology, offered collaboratively by HHS, HvA, Saxion, and Fontys.
Hands-on Experience
Although some theory is introduced in the early sessions to build a basic understanding, the emphasis is on accessibility and hands-on experience. A key tool used in the workshops is Quantum Inspire, which allows students to experiment with quantum computing directly, without requiring extensive theoretical knowledge.

Create a Quantum Game 🎮
An essential part of the workshops is encouraging students to develop their own games, allowing them to reinforce and apply the knowledge gained throughout the sessions. We look forward to seeing the creative games you produce, some may even be featured on our website for others to play!
