27–28 November 2026 OAU · Ile-Ife
Quantum for
young Nigerian minds.
A secondary school outreach day, a focused hackathon, and intensive problem-solving challenges, crowned by expert keynote sessions.
The Programme Structure
A new format built for maximum impact.
01
Hackathon
An intensive period of focused building. Participants form teams, select an industry bottleneck, and develop practical quantum or hybrid solutions.
02
Secondary School Outreach
Introducing quantum computing to the next generation. We bring students from diverse schools together to make the concepts visible, accessible, and exciting.
03
Challenges & Problem Solving
Live, hands-on sessions where university participants tackle specific computational challenges to win prizes and test their skills.
04
Keynotes
Expert insights from global leaders in quantum computing — the latest advancements, and what they could mean in practice for Nigeria.

Twenty students and two teachers are invited from each school — a deliberate mix of public, private, mixed, and all-female institutions.
Why this matters
Africa should help define the quantum era—not only observe it.
Exposure becomes confidence. Confidence becomes participation. Participation is how new research communities begin.

Learning pathways
Age-appropriate experiences for secondary school and university students.
01
Shared ambition
Developing quantum awareness, technical confidence, and a research culture in Nigeria.
Our trajectory
Three years of turning curiosity into capability.
Each edition has its own character, while every year advances the same mission: make quantum computing tangible and reachable.
