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.
Collection
Semiconductors
Components of a Cell Phone
Students will learn about elements on the periodic table, including ones instrumental to semiconductors, and how they are used to make electronic devices work.
Photolithography
Students will learn how computer chips get transformed from a brick of processed material into the items we associate with electronic devices, by addressing Photolithography, or the method of stenciling complex designs into silicon wafer.
Running and Interpreting Tests and Troubleshooting
By engaging in a real engineering design challenge, students will be able to experience a high-stakes competition to solve their challenge through troubleshooting.
Semiconductor Front-end Manufacturing
Students will learn about the manufacturing methods used to transform raw Silicon into positively- and negatively-charged components, along with the function of diodes and transistors in a computing system.
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.
Careers in Semiconductors: ChipPath
The ChipPath portal offers a comprehensive gateway to the semiconductor industry, providing a resume builder, career‑matching tools, education and training programs, industry resources, and a job board.
Chip In: Roadtrip Nation Documentary
Semiconductor chips may be tiny, but they have a giant impact on the world around us. They power how we communicate, travel, entertain ourselves, and live our daily lives.
Gone with the Wind- Building a Sailcar
Students will learn about wind as a type of renewable energy--and how its kinetic energy can be transferred to another object--by building a wind-powered car.
