(December 17, 2025) — Yesterday, Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (NC-04), Ranking Member of the House Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics, and Congressman Jay Obernolte (CA-23), Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Research and Technology, introduced the bipartisan Quantum Leaders Education and Advancement Program (Q-LEAP) Act to strengthen K-12 quantum information science and engineering (QISE) education across the country. The bill reauthorizes and expands the National Science Foundation (NSF)’s Quantum Education Pilot Program, increasing access to quantum literacy and supporting schools in integrating quantum curriculum nationwide. QISE combines quantum mechanics, science, and engineering to unlock next-generation technologies in computing, communications, and sensing. These innovations are reshaping industries and will define many jobs of the future. By helping students develop foundational skills in quantum science early, the United States can better prepare its students and the future quantum workforce for the advanced technologies that are shaping the nation’s future. Specifically, the Q-LEAP Act would: Reauthorize the Next Generation Quantum Leaders Pilot Program with $8 million in funding through Fiscal Year 2028 to support long-term investment in K-12 quantum education and training. Direct NSF to encourage coordination amongst awardees, elementary and secondary institutions, and state educational agencies to build upon the National Q–12 Education Partnership and programs, such as the Q2Work Program. Expand the development and implementation of QISE curricula, research, and training for students and teachers to enhance K-12 QISE education and opportunities. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
