A few weeks ago, we took part in the “Quantastisch – What’s up in the quantum world?” outreach event. Over 1,000 students aged 13 to 18 gathered at the Austrian Academy of Sciences - Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften (ÖAW) to explore the fascinating world of quantum science. Quantum Science Austria researchers demonstrated exciting experiments and showed how quantum research is shaping future technologies but also everyday life.
We ran an information stand and even got to take part in a Quantum Game as a joker! It was wonderful to talk to so many curious girls who were eager to learn more about quantum physics. We know that stereotypes start shaping us from an early age, so it's never too early to start challenging them.
Want to learn more about atom*innen? The next possibility to meet us is on 6 November at Vienna City Hall at Willkommen Quantenwelt where we will celebrate the quantum world: There will be a special stage program with the satirical duo Stermann & Grissemann, a creative science slam and lots networking opportunites. Come and visit our stand, say hello, and find out more about our community! :-)
Thanks a lot for the great pictures Daniel Hinterramskogler!
