In this workshop pupils discover the amazing world of semiconductors around them by using electronic kits to gather information about insulating and conducting materials, electrical polarity and semiconductor components.

Building on this knowledge pupils will then use semiconducting component applications to apply their new knowledge in Design Situations.
