This project will expand access to experiential learning pathways in microelectronics and semiconductors through the implementation of the Central to Exploring Microelectronics Technologies Hub, a community-anchored initiative connecting New Britain and Hartford, Connecticut. In response to the U.S. semiconductor industry’s projected shortfall of approximately 400,000 workers by 2030, the multi-pronged project will deploy three interlinked experiential learning programs aimed at increasing public engagement, education, and workforce preparation in the microelectronics and semiconductor sectors. It strategically integrates educational programming, hands-on experiences, and career development to meet workforce demands. The project involves the collaborative design and implementation of the three key programs: a Microelectronics and Semiconductor Exhibition, Microelectronics and Semiconductor Career Exploration Academy and a Microelectronics and Semiconductor Pre-Apprenticeship Career Training. These efforts are facilitated through the CEM Tech Alliance, a partnership network involving educators, faculty, community stakeholders, and industry leaders. The project will result in the construction and launch of a modular, interactive exhibition hosted at the Connecticut Science Center. The exhibition will use digital interfaces, tactile displays, and simulations to demonstrate core semiconductor concepts such as wafer fabrication, photolithography, and logic circuitry. Community
