Superconductor Quantum World Camp

Do you know what the world would look like if we could use superconductors in everyday life? Superconductors can make hoverboards, flying cars, and quantum computers possible - the only problem is that known superconductors only work near absolute zero which is -460 degrees Fahrenheit! Camp activities include: Learning basics of electrical circuits, superconductors, and quantum computers; Building a measurement tool to detect superconducting transition at -320F; Build a magnet track for the superconducting levitator; Fabricating nano-scale thin superconducting film and micro-scale lithography. Space is Limited! Early registration is recommended. Campers will be registered on a first-come, first-served basis.
