Qiskit Fall Fest – 2025

Overview

Welcome to UW-Madison’s third Qiskit Fall Fest in partnership with IBM Quantum!

In our meetings so far, we have developed skills and knowledge of quantum computing. The Qiskit Fall Fest is the time to put them to good use! For those of you that participated in the Hackathon last year, the format will be very similar. The hackathon will consist of challenge notebooks and/or an open-ended project submission, including open-ended prompts from IBM. There are opportunities to participate at all levels, no matter your experience with quantum! The rules and prize structure will be explained at the Fall Fest Kickoff on October 9th, save the date!

Don’t miss this perfect chance to add tangible experience to your resume that employers actually care about. For attending the hackathon kickoff, completing at least the first Qiskit challenge notebook, and attending the IBM speaker event, you’ll earn an official certificate that you can showcase on your resume and LinkedIn profile!

 

Participation in this event is limited to UW-Madison students.
