Happy #WorldQuantumDay! Today, we celebrate the incredible potential of quantum science. The quantum workforce needs better education tools, as existing tools haven't kept pace. We are building them and invite you to join our community.
Whether you are an educator, researcher, or industry professional, you can help shape the roadmap for 2026-27.

Experiment with one or two #pendulums, see how the length, weight, gravity, or angle affect the #period.
Learners will also observe the system's energy in real-time and discover the conservation of mechanical energy. https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/pendulum-lab/ #PeriodicMotion #iTeachPhysics
