YSRP · Schools edition

A teacher-led cohort with mentor support, teacher training and a fabrication allocation.

From a question to a working chip. Students design, prototype on an FPGA, fabricate on a shared wafer and measure their own silicon.

The work

What we help you do

  1. 01

    Train one or two teachers in the studio, the toolchain and the programme sequence.

  2. 02

    Run a school cohort on the standard twelve-week structure, with the group’s mentors reviewing designs and signing off for fabrication.

  3. 03

    Fabricate the cohort’s designs on the booked routes and hold a school showcase when the silicon returns.

What the engagement produces

  • Ten or more student places on the YSRP Studio, with development boards and a fabrication allocation—no design-software licences for the school to buy.
  • Teacher training and ongoing mentor support during the cohort.
  • School showcase, project pages and, with consent, the school’s entries to regional ISEF-affiliated fairs and open-hardware robotics competitions.
An agreed path forward

How it works

01

Agree places, dates and the fabrication run for the school year.

02

Teacher training before the cohort; weekly mentor reviews during it.

03

Fabrication, return of silicon, school showcase and the next cohort.

A little more clarity

Your questions, answered.

Does the teacher need a semiconductor background?

No. The studio and the training are designed for teachers of computing, physics or design and technology, with the group’s engineers reviewing every design.

How many students can a school enrol?

From ten places; larger cohorts are scheduled across the two fabrication runs each year.

Make it relevant to you.

Tell us the student’s age, interests and location. We will confirm the next cohort.
