Welcome to Qollider

Where Curiosity Meets the Future

Qollider is a first-of-its-kind after-school program designed to give Colorado’s rural students a front-row seat to the future of science, technology, and innovation. And the best part? It’s 100% free for families and schools, thanks to Colorado’s Out-of-School Time grant.

What is Qollider?

At Qollider, students become agents of discovery. With the help of hands-on project kits, creative problem-solving challenges, and mentorship from real scientists and innovators, kids explore the biggest ideas shaping our world—from artificial intelligence to quantum science.

Qollider isn’t just about learning facts. It’s about building confidence, resilience, and imagination—skills that will serve your child in school, in their career, and in life.

How It Works

Fun, Hands-On Kits

Every student receives projects they can touch, build, and experiment with.

Teacher-Led Sessions

Guided by local educators trained and supported by the Qollider team.

Challenges & Games

From puzzles to group projects, learning feels like play.

Regional Showcases

Each year ends with a presentation where students share what they’ve created.

Why it Matters

Colorado is one of the fastest-growing centers for quantum technology in the nation. That means thousands of new jobs—many available to students right out of high school with technical training. Qollider helps students see themselves in this future by building early interest and skills in STEM, teamwork, and problem-solving.

  • Builds confidence and resilience

  • Encourages creativity and curiosity

  • Connects students to real-world mentors

  • Prepares them for tomorrow’s workforce

The duck difference.

Our program isn’t just powerful—it’s playful. Students are introduced to five superhero duck mentors, each representing a challenge our world is facing. Through their guidance, kids learn that even the toughest problems can be solved with imagination, teamwork, and courage.

Because serious learning works best when it’s also fun.

Ready to join the mission?
