About the project
Quantum computing is considered one of the most promising new technological developments that is expected to have a disruptive effect on our world. Therefore, the task of general computer science education in schools is to make the underlying ideas, potentials, and limitations of this technology accessible to students. The high-quality subject-specific and didactic qualification of prospective teachers is central to this. However, there has been a lack of suitable formats for this new and highly complex field - including at the Technical University of Munich. This project aims to develop a seminar concept for students studying to become computer science teachers to acquire subject-specific and didactic skills in quantum computing with the involvement of various cooperation partners. The acquired teaching skills will then be applied in practice by the students designing, implementing, and evaluating a science week for year 11 students in cooperation with a school. Building on their own experiences and networking and exchange with other members of the Community of Practice, the project thus contributes to implementing the Stifterverband's recommendations for the contemporary teaching of quantum skills for computer science education in practice and identifying conditions for success and best practices in university teaching.
