Lab day event
Semiconductors
Electroplating and Integrated Circuit Production
what you will learn
In this lab, students will learn about what semiconductors are and how they form the “brains” of all modern electronics.
Students will also examine how integrated circuits (ICs) are built, examine the engineering design process as it applies to maximizing yield, and perform an electroplating experiment using Copper Sulfate.

Meet our keynote speaker
Olivia Jaenicke
Olivia has worked in the semiconductor industry since 2020, after she completed her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Irish Literature from the University of Notre Dame.
She has since worked as an Optical Production Engineer at ASML in Wilton, CT. She recently returned from a 1-year contract in Oberkochen, Germany where she was a process development engineer for EUV lithography optics at Zeiss Semiconductor.
She also earned her M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University. In her free time she enjoys learning the German language and training for half marathons.
what is a lab day?
Lab Days are live, virtual field trips.
Virtual field trip event
3 hours live, available later on demand
Event type
No-cost, hands-on live-streamed event
Your students will come together virtually with other classes all over the country to learn about a specific topic in engineering and complete their own related projects.
Participate live for the event — or attend as much as you can and watch the rest on demand.
WHY ENGINEERING TOMORROW
Labs are always conducted with no cost to schools, teachers or students.
Hands-on student activities get students excited and keep them engaged.
Cutting-edge instruction designed by professional engineers.
Unlock opportunities for kids all over the country.
