Gov. Jared Polis helped with a second-grade lesson on quantum technology that included jelly beans, Oreos and Legos during a Monday visit to the Innovation Center of St. Vrain Valley Schools for World Quantum Day.
Polis and Elevate Quantum also used the visit to announce the release of the Blueprint for Advancing K–12 Quantum Information Technology, which outlines steps lawmakers, educators and school district leaders can take to expand access to quantum education. Elevate Quantum is made up of businesses, universities, economic development/capital groups, labor/workforce organizations, state and local government entities and K-12 groups.
