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. Follow three young people as they explore the huge, future-focused, and exciting world of microelectronics.
Automation for the People
Students will investigate machine learning by participating in a short simulation, and then will run through a series of station activities including building a microchip, and a coding activity.
Code For Change: What is a Data Center
This video is part of the "Code For Change" unit, Lesson 4: "The Internet", of the Cybersecurity Career Awareness Project (“C-CAP”) curriculum video series.
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.
Sustainability & Renewable Energy
Students will learn about climate change, and will consider how semiconductors play a role in developing energy resources that are renewable.
Semiconductor Innovations
Students will go through the Engineer Design process to invent a piece of wearable technology. They will interview consumers, ideate solutions, analyze data, and build a prototype to present to the class.
Ignite Your Creativity!
Working in pairs, students will develop an invention or product using semiconductors that has the potential to solve a problem.
LEGO Build Some Microchips
Working in teams, students will build microchips using LEGOs, while practicing their soft skills in order to prepare the chips so they are ready for manufacturing.
