Welcome to Quantum Physics for Kids, a program of Quantum Academy! We're dedicated to supporting your child's exploration of quantum physics, science and space. Our classes are designed to get kids excited about physics and its impact on our lives, while supporting students in developing critical thinking skills. Our courses incorporate expert teacher presentations, hands-on activities, guided discussion, physical demos, cartoon visuals & educational animations. Courses are carefully structured to scaffold complex topics in supported stages. In addition, resources for continued learning and optional homework activities are provided after each class session.
With our founder's background in educational media, we create unique learning materials, graphics and animations for our classes to engage young learners in advanced physics and science topics! For example, our Atom Secrets classes provide 54 illustrated Atomic Element Cards and an illustrated Periodic Table of Elements, included with the course.
