Transistors: the key part in all electronics!

Creating a hand-on model of a transistor to explain it's function and importance.

Make-a-Wafer

Test your knowledge of silicon as you try to create your own wafer.

Less is More

Step through time to see how the application of Moore's Law has made transistors, and the products that contain them, so much smaller and yet faster.

On the Head of a Pin

Using block models, can you assemble these transistors-in-the-making in the correct order of fabrication? Once in the correct order, they will create a connection and ‘power’ the computer.

Are you faster than a processor?

"Speed of Processor" This exhibit could compare a human action with the speed of a chip. Allow the visitor to experience

Computers vs. Human Brain ... and the winner is?

Comparison of processing power and efficiency of artificial and organic systems. Part 1: Computer evolution. ENIAC to modern microchip computing. Part 2: Comparison to the human brain. ENIAC parameters, including dimensions, weight, speed compared to the human brain.
