Ella Meyer

Ella Meyer serves as the Quantum Computing Outreach Coordinator at UBC Geering Up, where she combines her astronomy background with a passion for making quantum physics accessible to young learners. After earning her Bachelor of Science in Astronomy from UBC in 2020, where she led the UBC Physics Society as president, she has pioneered several innovative quantum education initiatives. Her work includes coordinating week-long quantum computing summer camps for grades 10-12, developing the Qubits and Bytes workshops for grades 6-7, and working with the Quantenkoffer, a sophisticated quantum photonics lab-in-a-box that demonstrates Nobel Prize-winning experiments. She collaborates with fellow graduate students to deliver lectures and hands-on experiments across various institutions, from UBC's Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute to the Argonne National Library in Chicago. Through her role in the Diversifying Talent in Quantum Computing initiative, she has been instrumental in developing quantum computing curriculum for Ontario high schools, working to integrate quantum concepts into existing science programs while making the material accessible for both teachers and students.
