Convergent Undergraduate Education
in Quantum Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics
Our Vision:
To create a diverse quantum workforce by going all-in at the intersection of efficacy and equity to guarantee US competitiveness in the future quantum economy.
Who we are:
QuSTEAM is a network of colleges and universities with industry employers to offer quantum curriculum and professional development for instructors across all disciplines, as well as network support. We hope to bring quantum information education to every campus.
What we do:
QuSTEAM is building quantum STEM education from the ground up by creating curriculum modules that will provide educational opportunities for two- and four-year institutions, minority-serving institutions, and industry. By incorporating content beyond traditional STEM disciplines and gearing the modules toward project-based evaluation to broaden participation, QuSTEAM aims to focus on equity and inclusivity, while confronting and dismantling long-standing biases in order to advance diversity across STEM fields.
To ensure Equity, we are implementing evidence-based pedagogical best-practices while leveraging employer/academic connections to recruit and retain a better skilled + more representative workforce.
Our design is scalable, so that every campus can get the support it needs to draw students into the quantum workforce. Equity is a centerpiece of our work: we implement active learning and other evidence-based teaching practices known to increase retention of all students.
To achieve Scalability, we are developing a multi-sided network that links employers, instructors, and students by providing convergent content and a framework for national expansion.
