100 years ago, Old Uaddara Barracks in Kumasi served as a British military base. Today, it’s a civic space with educational and cultural significance—and the latest stop for our Quantum Science Outreach Program.
On July 12, our team from the Mathematical and Computational Physics Unit at KNUST visited the Armed Forces Senior High Technical School to spark curiosity about quantum science and its real-world applications.
This special session featured:
Dr. Maïté Dupuis from Canada’s Perimeter Institute, who brought quantum concepts to life in an interactive and high-school-friendly way.
Thought-provoking Q&A with students on quantum careers and more. Department overviews by Dr. Michael Donkor, Dr. Olivia Christos (medical physics), and Dr. Henry Martin, who emphasized the role of mathematical and computational physics. Interactive computer simulations and discussions on wave-particle duality.
