Chip Camp (NSF)
Taught 30 high-schoolers to build a 4-bit adder three ways — ICs, FPGA, and microcontroller.
Role: Instructor (paid)
Overview
A National Science Foundation–funded summer program for Louisville high-schoolers interested in hardware. Working with the CSE department chair, I taught and guided ~30 students to build a 4-bit adder three different ways — with discrete IC components, on an FPGA, and on a microcontroller — including hands-on soldering and bring-up. Paid, two summers running (2024 & 2025).
Highlights
- Designed and led hands-on labs building a 4-bit adder with ICs, FPGAs, and microcontrollers.
- Taught soldering, digital-logic fundamentals, and hardware bring-up to high-school students.
- Collaborated directly with the department chair under NSF funding.
