Fostering a Sense of Wonder and Curiosity
At MCQST, we are passionate about science communication and public engagement and aim to engage the public and sparking excitement for quantum science at all ages. We engage with the public at various scientific fairs, regularly organize events to inspire young students (Girls’ Day, Maustag), actively support and collaborate with the students' lab PhotonLab, and participate in national and international conferences where we get to network with the scientific community and with representatives from industry. We also employ a wide range of media and storytelling techniques to offer an immersive experience that goes beyond traditional modes of scientific communication. We work hand-in-hand with researchers to develop new outreach content, translating their expertise and insights in a way that captivates and educates the public.
