Teaching Quantum Mechanics with qCraft: qCraft in Action

ORAL

Abstract

In this second talk, we delve further into qCraft, which is an extension, or ``mod,'' of the popular video game Minecraft. We explain how quantum-mechanical phenomena---such as superposition, observer-dependency, and entanglement---are implemented in qCraft. We finish with a short demo and share our experiences with its use in primary school and high school classrooms.
