Quantum To-Go is a collaboration of Q12 Partnerships and the American Physical Society in celebration of World Quantum Day on April 14, 2023.

Both organizations recognize the importance of a thriving scientific community where everyone is invited to participate. Our program aims to expand students' understanding of what quantum science and technology is and who it engages. Quantum To-Go's goal is to inspire students of all ages to pursue quantum science and technology careers by matching classrooms with quantum professionals. In honor of World Quantum Day, we are celebrating all April-long with these virtual classroom visits. This classroom experience with a quantum professional will provide early exposure to science and build excitement among our students to discover more.
