SC Quantum helps South Carolinians learn about quantum science and technology in ways that are approachable and practical. We focus on education, workforce development, and partnerships that bring people together to explore how quantum tools can solve real problems. Our goal is to build quantum literacy, giving kids, parents, and teachers the chance to understand the basics without needing to be scientists. We also collaborate with universities, industry, policymakers, national labs, and entrepreneurs to grow a strong quantum ecosystem in South Carolina, supporting future opportunities, economic impact, and new job growth.

How do you support the community at large?

We support the community by creating ways for people across South Carolina to learn about quantum technologies. That includes public events, learning programs for teachers and industry, and partnerships with universities to prepare students for future jobs. We are also working to bring quantum into K–12 classrooms so kids can start exploring these ideas early, right alongside their other STEM learning. Taken together, these efforts help families, schools, and businesses while positioning South Carolina to stay competitive and lead in a fast-changing world.

Why is a connection with EdVenture beneficial to you, your company, your employees, and your customers?

EdVenture is a trusted place for families to explore science, and its focus on hands-on learning matches our own commitment to making quantum approachable. Our partnership around Quantum Jungle gives children and parents a chance to start, or continue, their quantum journey in a fun and interactive way. Working with EdVenture allows us to raise awareness and understanding across the community while showing how South Carolina is preparing for the future.

What are the skills a child should think about practicing if he or she is interested in a job in your field?

A strong foundation in math and science is important, and as students get older, subjects like algebra, physics, and computer science help prepare them for college study. For younger learners, practicing curiosity, problem solving, and creative thinking is just as valuable. These skills build confidence and prepare students to work on cross-functional teams where quantum technologies may play a part, even if the focus is not directly on quantum. Families can also look for summer camps, robotics clubs, and hands-on science opportunities that make learning fun and practical.
