Chip Kids is a web series about the science behind how microchips are made and how semiconductors influence our everyday lives. Each episode features a fun, hands-on experiment that can be recreated using ordinary, safe materials. The series and the accompanying learning materials aim to inspire and motivate all students to see STEM careers as exciting opportunities they can achieve. You can watch the series and get helpful guidance through these fun and educational experiments here!
Friends, you are smart, you are brave, you are caring, and you are dedicated. You give hope to so many, especially to those you teach, and you make a positive impact on so many lives. You are amazing!
With Appreciation,
