Thiago, Devin as well as Molecular Design Institute members Lance, Ben and Zoey organized the NMR station at NYU for the Nest m+ Outreach event this week. Nest m+ is a public school located on the Lower East Side of the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York.
This August, NYU graduate student and Avalos lab member Philip Weiss co-hosted a 2-day Quantum Computing workshop with STEMTeachersNYC where secondary teachers (9-12) explored the physics of quantum computing through the lens of a student! Teachers learned some basic quantum mechanics and explored existing quantum hardware by simulating quantum circuits. Teachers also learned how existing technology can be applied to solve real-world problems. The workshop provided classroom-ready quantum computing materials, and provided teachers with an opportunity to practice teaching a lesson that they could deliver in the upcoming school year.
Congratulations to Hannah Van Son, one of the lab’s GSTEM summer students, who gave an excellent talk today on her summer research during the GSTEM research symposium!
