Qiskit Fall Fest 2025 - Beginner Qiskit Notebook Walk-Through
Lake City Branch - The Seattle Public Library, 12501 28th Avenue Northeast, Seattle, WA, US
Join us at the Lake City Branch of the SPL in the Meeting Room for the Qiskit Fall Fest 2025 sponsored by IBM Quantum and implemented by the Seattle Quantum Computing Meetup. We were chosen to host an Extension Event. There were 600 applications, from which IBM Quantum selected 150 hosts! Our version of the Fall Fest runs from Oct 1 - Nov 3.

The Fall Fest is a great way to learn about Quantum Computers and Quantum Computing, and also to learn specifics about the Qiskit SDK.

If you missed our kickoff on Oct 4 at the Montlake branch of the SPL, no worries, you can attend this meeting and get up to speed!

You can find the notes for the previous meetups in our github repos:
1. sqcm_education_and_getting_started
2. qiskit_fall_fest_2025
Agenda:
-What is the Qiskit Fall Fest? (quick)
-Beginner Qiskit Challenge Notebook: we will walk-through this notebook, item-by-item, and talk it through. You can bring your laptop, and work with us as we go along.
-Address any questions and issues w/Discord, Qiskit, or the Challenges.
-Mingle with each other, talk about the Challenges.

If you have a specific topic that you would like to discuss, or have questions, you can send me a direct message in meetup (Natalie Hawkins), in Discord (nhawkins) or make a comment on this page, and we'll try to incorporate it into the agenda.

Hope to see you soon!

Meeting Location:
The Meeting Room at the Lake City Branch of the Seattle Public Library.

Traffic Notes: The Washington Huskies Football play at home on 10/25, 12:30pm, just fyi. The game lasts ~3 hrs or so.
