Background
Qiskit is an open-source framework for quantum computing developed by IBM Research. Many events and challenges related to Quantum Computing are regularly organized by Qiskit. One such event is the Qiskit Summer School, an educational event organized every year in the month of July. With these summer schools, Qiskit aims to lower the barrier for students to get into the field of Quantum Computing. Each edition of the Qiskit Summer School focuses on a different application or use of Quantum Computing. This year, Qiskit is back with a focus on a completely new topic- Quantum Machine Learning.
On May 26th, Qiskit announced the opening of early bird registration for Qiskit Global Summer School on Quantum Machine Learning. There were a total of 2000 spots available for the early bird registration period. However, soon after the announcement, all the spots were booked. But don’t worry, this isn’t the end of the road. Qiskit will soon open registrations for another 2000 spots.
We’re thrilled to see the interest in the Qiskit Global Summer School! We’ve received 2000 registrations, and early bird registration is now closed. Please continue to monitor Qiskit Twitter, where we will be opening up more seats on Wednesday, June 9th. #QGSS21 https://t.co/0IOlvzkXzQ

About the Global Summer School
Time Period
The summer school will stretch over a period of 2 weeks, with events being organized 5 days a week. The events will comprise Lectures, Labs, and Live Q&A sessions and each day will have multiple events lined up.
Contents
The summer school will start from the very scratch(of course, scratch being used here relatively) with an introduction to Qubits, Quantum Circuits, Quantum Algorithms. From there an introduction to Machine Learning will be given, and soon the event will be navigated into the field of Quantum Machine Learning from there.
Prerequisites
To keep the barrier to entry low so that the maximum number of people can register and participate in the summer school, there are only a few prerequisites required. Qiskit claims that anyone who knows how to multiply two matrices and program in python is ready to be a part of the summer school.
The Qiskit Global Summer School is being organized free of charge for all the participants. The registration is on a first-come-first-serve basis. So if you are really keen to be a part of the Qiskit Global Summer School, you should keep a check on their website and of course, their Twitter account @qiskit.
