NIGHTHAWKS W.I.N.G.S. SEMICONDUCTOR CAMP
October 22 @ 9:00 am - 2:30 pm
NIGHTHAWKS W.I.N.G.S. SEMICONDUCTOR CAMP
Workforce Innovation for the Next Generation in Semiconductors (W.I.N.G.S.)
Nighthawks W.I.N.G.S. is a one-day camp dedicated to teaching high-school students about semiconductors, the building blocks of the technology that shapes our lives.
What You Will Explore
- How technology (e.g., laptops/smartphones) is made using tiny switches called transistors
- How transistors are made from semiconductors
- Hands-on practice building your own digital circuit
- Why a semiconductor career might be for you
Why Semiconductors
Semiconductors are the foundation of modern technology and a fast-growing industry in the Boise Valley and the world!
Who Should Attend
High school students (especially sophomores and juniors) and their teachers who are curious about the technology. No prior knowledge required!
