    Can quantum mechanics be taught through a game of chess? This session explores the innovative world of Quantum Chess – a game that blends traditional strategy with quantum phenomena like superposition and entanglement. It will dive into how Quantum Chess is designed, how it introduces complex concepts in an accessible, engaging way, and how gamified learning tools can support quantum education. Join us for a fascinating look at how play and pedagogy can power learning in the quantum era. 

    By the end of this session, participants will be able to: 

    • Understand how core quantum principles can be represented through gameplay 
    • Gain insight into how gamification can make abstract scientific concepts more approachable and memorable 
    • Discover how Quantum Chess and similar tools can be used in educational settings to foster curiosity and engagement in quantum learning
