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.
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.
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.
PBL, Maker Ed & The Supply Chain
Incorporating Aspects of the Supply Chain Into a Project Based Learning Lesson
Students will be tasked with designing, prototyping, and presenting a toy to a live “trade show” to describe and demonstrate their “product.”

Product Readiness
I created a lesson plan of projects for my students to develop a Product, Business Mission Statement, Logo, and Brand Mood Boards. The activities will provide my students with an understanding of the product they will create as a business for their clothing brand.
