  1. What We Did During Our Summer Vacation NYSUT High Tech University for Teachers Malta, NY Aug 1-2, 2016 BY: C. Kim, S. Birnbaum, G. Calvin

  2. SEMI HIGH TECH UA High Tech Career Exploration Program Promoting Semiconductor Technology Education Teachers and guidance counselors gathered to focus on math, science and technology as an introduction to nanotechnology and other emerging technologies. It is set up to share ideas that teachers can use in the classroom to expose students to these emerging technologies.

  3. Location Hudson Valley Community College’s TEC-SMART (Training and Education Center for Semiconductor Manufacturing and Alternative and Renewable Technologies) facility in Malta, NY features more than a dozen state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories to train the workforce in semiconductor manufacturing and green technologies, including photovoltaic, geothermal and wind energy.

  4. Students can earn a two year degree which will prepare them for high paying technician positions in high tech companies.

  5. THE MODULES

  6. (1) Microchips and Solar Chips Objective: Become familiar with the basics. Laid the groundwork for understanding how chips are manufactured. Start with a Silicon wafer, add multiple layers of different materials to create transistors and circuits. Microchips and Solar Chips both Manufactured using similar technology.

  7. Activity Add layers to a glass disk to simulate aligning the layers properly. https://www.flickr.com/photos/nysut/albums/72157634646754267/with/9293228925/

  8. (2) Quality Control Objective: Generating data. Understanding the implications of that data and what it means to a manufacturing process. Look for consistency, reproducibility and problems that cause deviations.

  9. Activity Statapult: Generate data by varying three conditions of a statapult, Hook position, Peg position and Stop Position. Toss koosh ball and hackey sack. https://www.flickr.com/photos/nysut/9293226547/in/album-72157634646754267/

  10. (3) Coding Objective: Learn to code to create animations using a program called Scratch Activity: https://scratch.mit.edu/ Or try Hour of Code: https://code.org/learn Minecraft, Star Wars or Anna and Elsa

  11. (4) Logic Circuits Objective: Learn all about Binary code for computing. AND, OR, XOR, and NOT gates – how each operates in a circuit.

  12. Activity Human Calculator: A circuit designed to add in binary code was printed on a “twister” like sheet. Challenge: each person was one logic step in a series of steps which when combined summed the two input values using binary code. https://www.flickr.com/photos/nysut/9305758023/in/album-72157634646754267/

  13. (5) Nanotechnology Importance of nanotechnology in today’s products. Sunscreen - nano sized particles of Aluminum Oxide Clothing and toothbrushes - nanoparticles of silver Activity: Examine consumer products that contain nanoparticles. Decide if you would use them.

  14. (6) Field Trip

  15. Detailed information about the entire manufacturing Process was provided. Level of detail can vary with level of visitors. Windows to the manufacturing Area allow real time Observation. Really interesting place to see – go visit yourself, bring the family and then plan a field trip for your students.

  16. Encourage your students to participate in this program Testimonials http://www.semi.org/en/node/75376
