and connect to new communities
that share our excitement about
IC innovation and its democratization
toward a new wave of
global impact. The program will
provide education, mentoring,
and collaboration opportunities
as well as sponsored fabrication
runs. It will also increase
volunteering opportunities and
is expected to help create new
outreach programs to undergraduate
and precollege students
as well as enhance existing ones
(such as the SSCS design contest).
