Abstract	Quantum technology is an emerging field of physics and engineering and important applications are expected in quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum cryptography, quantum simulation, and quantum metrology. Thus the need for education in this field is increasing, while still remaining challenging. While the need for basic education in quantum physics is accepted in many countries, the possibilities still are limited. Concerning fundamental topics such as the superposition principle and complementarity, on the one hand, a large variety of simulations and animations are available. However, single-photon experiments are still beyond reach for any school, due to costs and technical difficulties. A promising approach seems to be a combination of cheap, easy-to-use and modular experimental kits for school which allow for wave optical experiments, in combination with quantum optical simulations. In the present article, we focus on the modularity and accessibility of an experimental kit based on 3D-printed 'Optic Cubes', which allow for a large variety of experiments in high school.
