Abstract

We present a game-based approach to teach Bell inequalities and quantum cryptography at high school. The approach is based on kinesthetic activities and allows students to experience and discover quantum features and their applications first-hand. We represent quantum states by the orientation of students, and mimic quantitative random behaviour and measurements using dice and apps.
