Quantum Physics for Kids
Learn foundational quantum physics concepts by exploring amazing inventions and scientific discoveries!
Our classes are designed to get kids excited about quantum physics and its impact on our lives. Quantum physics is the foundation of modern technology: electricity, solar energy, batteries, wifi, computers. Kids are naturally curious about these modern tools. An understanding of quantum physics opens doorways to STEM fields such as quantum computing, electrical engineering, biotechnology, astrophysics, material science and other growing industries.
Our courses incorporate a wide variety of engaging activities, including hands-on physical demos, cartoon visuals, educational presentations, drawing activities, guided discussions and humorous quizzes. Our expert teachers keep students engaged and excited to learn. Course curriculum is carefully structured to scaffold complex topics in supported stages.

This 4-session course offers a fun and engaging introduction to the fields of Chemistry and Quantum Physics! The Atom Secrets course explores atoms, subatomic particles and the Periodic Table of Elements, over four 50-minute sessions meeting once a week. The course introduces students to 54 atomic elements, while exploring advanced concepts such as electron orbitals, covalent and ionic molecular bonds, and the structural organization of the Periodic Table. The course materials include 54 full-color cartoon Atom Flash Cards, emailed to students as printable PDFs, designed by Pixar animation artist Glenn Kim (whose film credits include The Incredibles, Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc). A full-color illustrated Periodic Table of Elements is also provided. In addition, Review Handouts are provided for each class session. These printable resources are included with course registration.
Parent Review: "I dare say this was my son’s favorite class ever! Wonderfully knowledgeable teacher. Excellent communication and materials."

Minecraft includes a free Chemistry Add-on that represents real chemistry principles within the Minecraft world! This 4-session course dives into the functions of the Minecraft Chemistry module and teaches students how to use it to make atomic elements, molecular compounds and chemical reactions within Minecraft. For kids that love Minecraft, this course is a fun and dynamic way to learn and reinforce understanding of real-life chemistry concepts.
All versions of Minecraft will work for this course except for Java Edition, which does not include the Minecraft Chemistry features. To take this course, students should already know the basics of playing Minecraft, including how to use a Crafting Table and how to access their inventory. Students will also need to be able to access Zoom and Minecraft simultaneously, either by utilizing a second device, or by having both Zoom and Minecraft windows visible on the same screen.
Parent Review: "My 8yo son had a BLAST! The teacher was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made the concepts accessible and relevant to all of the kids!"

Explore exciting frontiers of quantum physics theory and research, including dark matter, dark energy, antimatter and the Standard Model of Particle Physics! This 4-session course introduces learners to intriguing concepts in quantum physics that represent some of the most cutting-edge areas of current scientific research. In addition, this course moves beyond the 3 most commonly-known subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons) to discuss the 16 subatomic particles in the Standard Model (including quarks, leptons and bosons), which forms the theoretical framework used by modern physicists. Printable Review Handouts will be provided for each class session.
Parent Review: "My son LOVED this class!! I honestly got a ton out of it too! Every day he’d excitedly tell me all about the neat things he learned. His teacher was fabulous too!! Very well prepared and great at connecting with kids."
