Embark on a Journey into the World of Semiconductors with UMaine!
Are you a high school student with a curiosity for the technology that powers the modern world? Don’t miss out on the 5-day Semiconductor Camp at the University of Maine!
From understanding the basics of bits and gates to exploring the intricate world of semiconductors and transistors, this camp gives you hands-on experience in the field of electronics. You’ll even get an exclusive tour of Texas Instruments and learn about the cutting-edge technologies that shape the future.
By the end of the week, you’ll be hands-on with testing, integrating, and building your own semiconductor system. From smartphones to spacecraft, discover how microchips are behind it all!
Camps are not residential.
Parents are responsible for dropping-off and picking-up their kids every day. We are unable to take responsibility of the students beyond the camp hours (Times: 10:00 am – 4:00 pm).
