Activity 1

Quantum Speed: The Impossible Problem

Kick off with a mystery: challenge developers to predict which task quantum computers can break that classical computers can't—before revealing the actual answer.

Why this works

Curiosity gaps spark attention and motivate learning when the answer feels just out of reach.

Activity 2

Quantum Myths: True or False?

Surface common misconceptions in the dev community by making the group commit to 'true' or 'false' for bold statements about quantum computing.

Tap to view the full activity.

Why this works

Making predictions before revealing answers helps learners confront and correct their own false intuitions.

Activity 3

Quantum in One Word

Quickly lower the bar for participation—have everyone write or shout out a single word that pops into their head when they hear 'quantum computing.'

Tap to view the full activity.

Why this works

Low-pressure entry points encourage even shy participants to join in, surfacing collective assumptions.

Activity 4

Quantum Challenge: Stand If You Think...

Increase the room’s energy by prompting rapid-fire 'stand if you agree' responses to quick-fire quantum statements, letting participants see the split in opinions.

Activity 5

You’re CTO: Classical or Quantum?

Put the group in the hot seat: they’re CTOs of a fintech startup, and can choose only one platform for a mission-critical task—classical HPC or bleeding-edge quantum. Which do they risk their business on?

Tap to view the full activity.

Why this works

Real-world dilemmas force participants to weigh trade-offs, surfacing real priorities and deepening retention.
