It's

QuanTime is an initiative to bring fun, bite-sized quantum activities to K-12 classrooms across the US.  Developed by the National Q12 Education Partnership, QuanTime boasts a repository of activities designed by teachers for teachers, with lesson plans, materials lists, etc, modeled after Hour-of-Code to fit within a 45-60 minute class. 

To celebrate the 2025 International Year of Quantum, Sandia National Labs, Computer Science Alliance, and Albuquerque Public Schools are partnering with Explora, SparCQS, and other community members to bring QuanTime to New Mexico for the week of February 8-14, 2025, encouraging K-12 students to “Get entangled with quantum science!”  

As of 4/24/2025, our incredible teachers have reached over 700 students through classroom implementation!

Additional Resources for Valentine's Day

We're delighted to provide some additional resources for Valentine's Day!  

Thanks to the 500+ community members who joined us for our kickoff event on Saturday!

A kickoff event at ¡Explora! allowed the quantum-curious of all ages to explore 14+ hands-on quantum demos and activities throughout the museum.  Booths were staffed by 38 people, including students, educators, and researchers.

Stay tuned for QuanTime NM 2026!

The QuanTime NM team will coordinate info-sessions, teacher professional development, and kit distribution to bring QuanTime to classrooms across New Mexico. In January CS Alliance will run teacher PDs in preparation for implementing quantum activities in February, encouraging K-12 students to “Get entangled with quantum science!”
