On Thursday, December 8, STELAR hosted a webinar with Kumar Garg, Vice President of Partnerships and Managing Director of the Science Technology and Society portfolio at Schmidt Futures. During the webinar, Mr. Garg expanded on the keynote presentation he provided during the 2022 ITEST PI meeting, in which he reflected on his experiences and shared his perspectives on trends and opportunities (watch the keynote recording). The webinar allowed Garg to respond to questions posed during the event and engage in further discussion with the ITEST Community.

With Micron we provided 40 students the opportunity to build and launch rockets, prototype and code aquatic transport vehicles, learn about the fabrication process of microprocessors and engage in science experiments with staff and students from Georgia Tech. By attending Chip Camp, students were able to better understand what engineers and scientists/engineers do every day in a semiconductor company and be inspired to cultivate a love of STEM learning and problem solving through STEM education
