  • Lead Qollider sessions in your school and earn additional pay for your time. All materials, curriculum, and support are provided—it’s truly turnkey.

  • Gain access to Colorado’s growing quantum ecosystem through Qollider’s partnership with the Elevate Quantum Workforce Consortium. Build your own awareness of the technologies shaping our future—and bring those insights back to your students.

  • Help students see new futures for themselves—even if they’re not college bound. The quantum industry is projected to add 30,000 new jobs in Colorado over the next decade, many requiring only technical certifications or associate degrees. With Qollider, you’ll open doors your students may never have imagined.

  • Qollider blends puzzles, hands-on kits, storytelling, and games with serious learning. It’s engaging for students and rewarding for you. Along the way, you’ll watch curiosity spark and passions grow.

How it Works

  • Qollider provides project kits, lesson plans, and training—you bring the energy and leadership.

  • Programs run in 10-week sessions (fall, winter, spring) with flexible schedules.

  • Each session culminates in a student showcase or capstone presentation.

  • You’ll be part of a regional network of educators bringing STEM and innovation to rural Colorado.

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.
