IDLA Collaboration
The MER Institute and Idaho Digital Learning Alliance (IDLA) have worked together to create semiconductor courses for secondary students. The first of three proposed courses, titled Chip, Chip, Hooray!, was launched for the fall semester of 2024. Nearly 130 students from across the state of Idaho will be taking the class, which focuses on basic circuitry design, semiconductor use across various industries, and career pathways for students to enter the semiconductor industry.
