Tempe, Arizona – Educators with passion for learning Stem gathered with their peers and leaders of the industry in the inaugural MicrosPark Asp Microelectronics Conference ConferenceHeldlast week in Tempe and Chandler. Designed for teachers of the Asu Preparatory Academy that Stem taught or wishes to grow their STEM knowledge, the event equipped educators throughout the Asu Prep network with information and resources to help involve students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, both in the classroom and in a future career choice.
Arizona is a world leader in microelectronics, with multimillion -dollar facilities that are established or expanded locally, which in turn requires a great Stem workforce. As a University Preparation School Network aligned with the Arizona College and Career Ready standards, ASRP PREP prioritizes STEM learning so that students realize these fields, industries and roads towards Stem and Stem high -end races.
“The Asu Preparatory Academy is a critical element of the design of the pipeline for engineering, technical and commercial roles that connect with the manufacture of semiconductors and microelectronics in Arizona,” said Rachna Mathur, Stem's senior strategist for the ASS Preparatory Academy, which previously worked in the semiconductor industry for more than a decade. “We continually focus on inclusive learning and innovation of principles in all our initiatives, especially in Stem, where we need various voices among leaders, designers and innovatives of tomorrow.”
The Microspark Conference was designed to present the K-12 teachers to the industry, concepts and careers of the microelectronics; equip teachers with resources to integrate microelectronics into their lessons; and foster connections between educators, professors at Arizona State University and industry professionals.
This first conference focused on its kind of microelectronics was the result of the collaboration between the Asu Fulton Engineering School of Manufacturing Systems and Redsand the Southwest advanced prototypes (swap) In Asu, partner of the ThecHips & Science Law of 2022, which supports the education of semiconductor and microelectronics in K-12. In addition, the Semi base Supported a practical micro workshop: BIT and class kits sponsored for all participating teachers, and NXP semiconductors In Chandler he served as a host for the second day of the conference.
The main academic and industrial professionals who lent their experience to the program included:
- Dr. Binil Starly, professor and school director of the Manufacturing Systems and Reds School (MSN) within the IRA. A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, and Dr. Shawn Jordan, interim director of the School of Integrated Engineering and Associated Engineering Professor in the Ira A. Fulton engineering schools, who presented an “Introduction to Microelectronics”
- BIA HAMED, Perla Debaggis and Nick Irigoyen, a team of experts from the semi base that facilitated the practical micro workshop: Bit
- John Cain, Rylan Rysle and his team in NXP Semiconductor, who served as hosts for the second day of the conference, which included a workshop, tours and sessions
- Faridodin “Fredi” Lajvardi, President, CEO and Director of Stem initiatives for the Stem Center if you can, which was presented in “Robotics in Arizona”
The educators who participate in the conference include 25 teachers and support personnel representing the five local preparation campuses Asu (Phoenix, South Phoenix, Casa Grande, Pilgrim Rest and Polytechnic) and the online programs ASU PREP (Digital and Khan World School in Asu Prep).
