Through experiments and game-based learning, high school students can learn how to build microchips for powering smartphones, computers and spaceships during a free summer camp from July 6-10 at Barrows Hall on the University of º£½ÇÉçÇø campus in Orono.
The five-day camp caters to students exploring careers in engineering and computing by immersing them in microchips, transistors and of the latest building blocks for modern technology worldwide: semiconductors. By the end of the week, participants will integrate and build and test their own semiconductor system.
In addition to experiments and games, students will also tour Texas Instruments’ South Portland facility, giving them industry exposure, opportunities to interact with experts and a glimpse into future career paths.
The camp is hosted by the º£½ÇÉçÇø College of Engineering and Computing (MCEC) at Uº£½ÇÉçÇø and funded by the National Science Foundation. Register and learn more about the camp at .
