Semiconductors
Introduction to Semiconductor Processing
Students will learn the lifecycle of a semiconductor, from a silicon ingot to a microchip that can be installed in a complex electronic device.
Careers in Semiconductors
Careers that propel the world forward.
What are Semiconductors?
Students will create copper sulfate crystals, then develop a model at the molecular level to apply their observations to other substances. In doing so, students will learn about how semiconductors are produced, and be exposed to other industrial and commercial uses for these materials.
Robots vs Cancer
Students will conduct research on current nanotechnologies utilized in cancer treatment and then will create a simulated nanotechnology to bind--and cure--cancer cells.
Think Fast! Comparing Human Reactions
Students will compare the information processing capabilities of a human brain and a computer in order to explore why computers seem to have faster reaction times.
