As quantum computing becomes a national priority, there is a desire for its introduction at the K-12 level. Few K-12 teachers, however, have deep expertise in computer science, let alone quantum computing.

This paper reports on the design and implementation of a professional development workshop designed to introduce K-12 teachers to quantum computing and equip them with relevant teaching resources. The workshop involved interactive activities, surveys of teachers’ attitudes towards teaching quantum computing, and a case study with one of the participants. Significant improvements were observed in teacher enthusiasm, confidence, and absorption towards quantum computing, as well as a decrease in anxiety levels
