Automating our Lives
Students will use systems design to propose ideas for using semiconductor automation systems to improve their communities.
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.
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.
Ignite Your Creativity!
Working in pairs, students will develop an invention or product using semiconductors that has the potential to solve a problem.
Introduction to Semiconductors
Students will learn the lifecycle of a semiconductor, from a silicon ingot to a microchip that can be installed in a complex electronic device.
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.
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.
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 Career Research
Students will select one company involved in Apple's iPhone supply chain, and will investigate careers available at that company, and the education path that could lead them to that career.
