Computer chips are everywhere - powering the Internet, controlling cars, automating factories, enhancing cell phones, and enriching home entertainment. A program at the Intel Museum helps children learn about computer chip science while completing fun, hands-on activities. Participants will decode a secret message, explore the inside of a laptop, make a musical greeting card, and more. The summer features four different themes: 1. Code and Conductivity--Learn how computers "talk" in code, and test the conductivity of different materials to learn about semiconductors. 2. Sensational Circuits--Build working circuits and discover that a computer chip the size of a fingernail contains millions of circuits. 3. Keeping It Clean--Find out why tiny dust particles are not welcome in a fabrication facility, and conduct an experiment to count particles in the air. 4. Fabulous Fabs--Explore the magic of UV light. Each program lasts about 45 minutes and includes guided and self-paced activities. All participants must be accompanied by an adult who remains in the museum during the program. Attend each of the 4 programs and receive a prize!
