Three Ways to Get Your Hands Dirty

Run a fab like a plant director, put the process in order, and prove your silicon IQ.

Build Your Own Fab Full Simulation

You have 100 credits of capital. Choose a plant type, split your budget across the four pillars, and power on. The simulator shows exactly how your choices become yield, ramp time and output — and where the ideal mix lies.

Fab Flow Challenge Order the Process

A wafer enters blank and leaves as tested chips. Click the eight fab steps in the correct order — from raw silicon to shipped device.

Silicon IQ Quiz 4 Categories

Six questions per arena — from sand to EUV to India's own mission. Can you reach Fab Director in all four?

Eight Stages

From Blank Disc to Brain

Watch the light print, the plasma carve and the bond wires land. Step through it, or press play and let the lot run.

One Corner, Two Worlds

Paper on the Left, Pixels on the Right

A SemiLibrary is a semiconductor reading corner inside an existing school, college or public library — printed books on one side, an offline-first digital kiosk on the other. The bus visits; the library stays.

24/7

Always-There Access

Learning continues between bus visits, all year round.

Continuity
0 data

No Internet Needed

Offline-first kiosks and printed books serve students that connectivity forgot.

Inclusion
2 languages

Tamil + English

Concepts land first in the language you think in — then build the industry's English vocabulary.

Accessibility
1 path

Reading → Career

Every shelf points somewhere: Academy lessons, certification cohorts, the bus and real jobs.

Progression

SemiLibrary is a concept design at proposal stage — no reading corner is open yet.
