Empowering Colorado students to become tomorrow’s leaders

Serving Colorado’s K-12 communities with quantum-focused after-school programs.

Get Started

Colorado is now a global leader in quantum innovation.

Qollider is the only Quantum Information Science (QIS) program designed for K-12 students in Colorado.

In July 2024, Colorado received the prestigious USEDA Quantum Tech Hub grant, establishing our state as a global leader in quantum innovation. Your students can develop skills for careers paying $60K-$120K+ annually—opportunities that will exist when they graduate high school. Colorado is committed to filling these positions with homegrown talent.

Qollider empowers students to become innovative problem-solvers by connecting them to quantum science, emerging technologies, and real-world challenges that matter to their communities and beyond.
