Open Call for Participants | Quantum Immersive Workshop

Have you ever wondered about parallel universes or time travel? Can you imagine yourself immersed in the world of quantum? Are you curious about new ways to make quantum exciting and accessible for everyone?

You must join us in a 2-week Quantum Immersive Workshop!

We’re inviting quantum-curious young adults, regardless of training or background, to participate in our Quantum Immersive Workshop, beginning on 28 February 2026. Over two weeks, participants will explore collaborative approaches at the intersection of art and technology, focusing on generating creative ideas and public-facing artifacts that engage audiences with quantum concepts.

You must apply if:

  • You enjoy making complex ideas accessible through stories or visual art, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, video, photographs, drawings, graphic art, code, games or anything else that inspires you.

  • You are interested in working in interdisciplinary teams.

  • You enjoy hands-on learning, experimenting (figuratively and literally), and are eager to contribute in making quantum physics exciting and interactive for everyone.

Eligibility:
You are a young adult (aged 18–30) and identify as a researcher, communicator, poet, designer, gamer, public engagement practitioner, or a quantum-curious individual.

Selection and Notification:
Selected participants will be notified by 31 January 2026. We are unable to provide feedback on individual submissions at any stage of the selection process.
Along with the confirmation email, participants will receive a detailed programme schedule and reading materials, which they are expected to go through ahead of the workshop.

What to expect?

  • Attend lectures and workshops led by quantum researchers and artists 

  • Work in interdisciplinary teams to transform quantum ideas into public-facing creative outputs such as poetry, fiction, non-fiction, video, photographs, drawings, code, games or anything else that inspires you.

  • Exhibit your work at the public showcase on the final day of the workshop.

  • Workshop is free and lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Deliverables:

  1. Attend all days of the workshop. The programme begins on 28 February at 10:00 AM and concludes on 15 March with a public showcase.

  2. Engage thoroughly with the assigned reading and viewing materials, which may include books, articles, films, lectures, and other media.

  3. Commit to the workshop schedule, which runs on Saturdays and Sundays, with a Monday or Tuesday off.

  4. Contribute original writing, artwork, or media on a quantum-related theme for presentation at the final public showcase.
