DESCRIPTION:Hardware Hack Days is a hands-on workshop where high-school stu
 dents and teachers team up with engineers to design and build real microch
 ips\n\nThis 2-day event is an opportunity to understand the digital world 
 beyond Facebook and Google. At Hardware Hackdays\, Matt Venn will show you
  how to build your own silicon chip using open-source tools and design kit
 s. John Cohn and Hack Club connect you to printed circuit board (PCB) tech
 nology\, from setting up cloud-driven design software\, to creating a cust
 om PCB design and submitting it for fabrication.\n\nCo-sponsored by: CMC M
 icrosystems\n\nSpeaker(s): Matt\, John\, Theo\, Clay\, Alvin\n\nAgenda: \n
 Build your own silicon chip! Tiny Tapeout Hack Day with Matt Venn (UW Octo
 ber 18th)\n\nMatt from Tiny Tapeout follows a real-world chip design flow 
 from hardware description to fabrication. He covers the basics of semicond
 uctors\, CMOS circuits\, and how to build and test a system on a chip. If 
 designing a chip seems elusive\, this is THE workshop that gets it done. W
 atch Matt Venn’s [3-minute youtube video explaining Tiny Tapeout](https:
 //youtu.be/qVWq_XZko-M).\n\nFour weeks after the event\, your designs are 
 sent for fabrication (at no cost to you). You will be able to test your ch
 ip on your own laptop 8 months later.\n\n9.15-10.00 Check-in\n\n10.00-10.3

 \n\n13.00-14.00 Create a chip layout\n\n14.00-15.00 Add your design to the
  chip\n\nBuild your own PCB! (UW October 19th)\n\nDesign your own printed 
 circuit board (PCB) at this Hack Day\, and get a grant of up to $140 from 
 project OnBoard and [Hack Club](https://grounded.hackclub.com/) to have it
  manufactured! Students are designing and building projects like Lidar sen
 sors for a robot and rasberry-pi picos with the knowledge and skills gaine
 d through [OnBoard grants](http://github.com/hackclub/onboard).\n\nJohn Co
 hn and Theo Loke will lead you through the design process in just a few ho
 urs. Your PCB\, populated with components after fabrication\, will be ship
