PsiQuantum announced a $250,000 philanthropic investment in local schools, higher education institutions, and STEM programs to advance the next generation of scientists, engineers, and quantum innovators in South Chicago. As the anchor tenant of the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP), PsiQuantum is committed to ensuring young people in the communities surrounding the campus have access to educational opportunities and career pathways into the growing quantum workforce.  This philanthropic support includes:

Support for local high schools, including George Washington High School and St. Francis De Sales High School, to expand STEM curriculum, classroom technology, and educator training

Investments in higher education programs, including Olive-Harvey College and Chicago State University’s Quantum Education, Science, and Technology Center (CQuEST); STEM Explorations Camp; and Quantum Teacher Training programs

Grants to community organizations, including Project SYNCERE and Phalanx Family Services, to expand STEM learning opportunities for local students.

The announcement builds on PsiQuantum’s continued investments across South Chicago, including a $10,000 donation to Bowen High School that enabled the purchase of virtual reality equipment, robotics, cameras, rockets, drones, and circuits to support hands-on learning in the classroom.
