Quantum Programming in Minecraft and Qiskit - online club for advanced students
An advanced online club for those who have already built quantum transmission in Minecraft and want to go further. What they try out in the game, they then write as a real program in Python.
Quantum computers are talked about today as the technology that will change data security, the search for new medicines and artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to really get to grips with them has to reach programming sooner or later. And that is exactly where this club is heading.
We work on two levels at once. In the game the protocol gets built and tried out, so it stays visible what is happening. And then the children write it in Python with the Qiskit library - the same one universities and companies such as IBM work with.
A child takes something with real weight away from this club: they can write a quantum program and they understand why it works. It is an experience most students only get during university.
What will children learn?
- To write a quantum program in Python using the Qiskit library - a professional tool.
- How quantum communication works - and why it is safer than today's.
- What quantum algorithms are - a search that is faster than the classical one, for instance.
- Why a quantum computer computes differently from a classical one, and what it can and cannot do.
- Where quantum technologies are used - data security, new medicines, materials, optimisation.
- Quantum online simulators and work with quantum circuits - in IBM Quantum Composer.
- Technical English, the language of the documentation and of the whole field.

Funding and partners
Online club is a part of the BY-CZ Quantum Academy project (BYCZ10-263), co-financed by the Interreg Bavaria-Czechia 2021-2027 programme through the European Regional Development Fund.
The project is delivered by a Czech-Bavarian consortium of five partners: ZČU Pilsen, NTC, THD Deggendorf, DMDM and NVIAS.
The club is prepared and run by NVIAS with the support of the project partners.
Funded by the Interreg Bavaria-Czechia 2021-2027 programme.
The price is reduced for the residents of supported regions.
