Teaching Quantum Mechanics with Minecraft and Comics

Teaching Quantum Mechanics with Minecraft and Comics
Presented by Spyridon Michalakis, Manager of Outreach and Staff Researcher
Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy

When life gives you lemons, you work with Google to create a mod for Minecraft, and with PhD Comics to make animations for the public. The purpose is simple: Engage the next generation through gaming and the current generation through beautiful storytelling and pictures. Because that's what it takes to get your nephew and aunt excited about quantum superposition and quantum entanglement.
