Join us at King's College London for a series of quantum computing lectures and hackathons. Learn, build and collaborate with fellow students across London.
Weekly lecture + workshop evenings from 8 October to 23 November 2025
The IBM Qiskit Fall Fest is an international initiative that empowers students to explore the exciting world of quantum computing. Our 2025 edition in London brings together workshops, lectures and hackathons designed for beginners and seasoned programmers alike. Over eight weeks, you'll learn the fundamentals of quantum computing, develop practical skills with IBM's open-source Qiskit framework, and tackle hands‑on challenges.
Open to all universities: whether you study at King's College London, UCL, Imperial College, LSE or any other London institution, you're welcome to participate. No prior quantum experience is required – just curiosity and a desire to learn.
Spaces are limited, and registration is required for each session. Attendance is free of charge.
This Fall Fest isn’t just about lectures and coding. At King’s we recognise that well‑rounded performance and team‑building are essential to innovation. In addition to technical sessions, you’re invited to train together for the RunThrough London Ten 10K on 23 November 2025 or submit an art piece for our quantum creativity exhibition. Take care of your body and your mind – we’ll support you every step of the way.
We meet every Wednesday evening for immersive lecture + workshop sessions, with a celebratory Run Through London meet-up on Sunday 23 November. Explore the timeline below to see what's coming up.
Register your interest for the full series and we'll email you the latest Fall Fest updates as soon as your place is confirmed.
Sessions take place in person on campus at King's College London.
Please bring a charged laptop or tablet so you can take part in the hands-on activities.
