This Project Grant award of $453,549.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program will expand access to experiential learning pathways in microelectronics and semiconductors through the implementation of the "Central to Exploring Microelectronics Technologies Hub" in New Britain and Hartford, Connecticut. The multi-faceted initiative will deploy three interconnected programs: a microelectronics and semiconductor exhibition, career exploration academies, and a pre-apprenticeship training program. These efforts will be facilitated through the CEM Tech Alliance, a partnership network involving educators, faculty, community stakeholders, and industry leaders. The project aims to increase public engagement, education, and workforce preparation in the microelectronics and semiconductor sectors in response to the projected shortage of 400,000 workers by 2030. The award will support the construction and launch of an interactive exhibition, the training of community engagement and experiential learning scholars, and the delivery of certified learning modules and curriculum.
