Event Info: 

  Computer chips are everywhere-powering the Internet, controlling cars, automating factories, enhancing cell phones, and enriching home entertainment.

A free program at the Intel Museum helps children learn about computer chip science while completing fun, hands-on activities. Participants will decode a secret message, explore the inside of a laptop, make a musical greeting card, and more.

Four different themes:
* Code and ConductivityLearn how computers "talk" in code, and test the conductivity of different materials to learn about semiconductors.
* Sensational CircuitsBuild working circuits and discover that a computer chip the size of a fingernail contains millions of circuits.
* Keeping It CleanFind out why tiny dust particles are not welcome in a fabrication facility, and conduct an experiment to count particles in the air.
* Fabulous FabsExplore the magic of UV light.

Each program lasts about 45 minutes. Participants can drop in at the museum on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on any of the program dates. Reservations not required.
