Quantum physics in the classroom: Escape Game captivates students from autumn!
In an exciting project, doctoral students from the University of Innsbruck developed an innovative escape game for quantum physics. As Top.Tirol , this interactive game will be offered in schools all over Austria from autumn 2025. The target group are pupils of secondary levels I and II, which are introduced to the fascinating world of quantum phenomena through the game in a playful and creative way.
The special thing about this escape game is the exciting action: During a lecture, a physicist receives a call that an experiment failed. This starts the challenge for the students because they have to solve various tasks together to save the simulation. It is about complex topics such as laser adjustment, superposition, particle measurement, the blurring fault and the Planck constant.
a year of quantum physics
The Escape Game takes place as part of the International Year of Quantum Physics 2025, which was proclaimed by the United Nations. The physicists emphasize how important it is to present role models in the natural sciences in order to arouse the interest of young people. In this sense, the anniversary year aims to clarify the population about quantum physics and their technologies.
Several schools in Vienna, Linz and Innsbruck have already expressed interest in this project. The implementation of the Escape Games is planned for the period from October 6 to 10, 2025. With this initiative, Austria, as a leading research nation in quantum physics, should not only promote its own talents, but also give exciting insights into the complex laws of the quantum world.
The escape game is a promising step in the educational landscape, which could not only expand the knowledge of the students, but also strengthens their creative thinking skills. A good knack for the imparting of knowledge - this promises this innovative project from Innsbruck, which will surely inspire many young heads.
