’ PerspectivesIntroductionIn 2022 the Chips and Science Act was passed, which aims to bring more advancedsemiconductor manufacturing back to the US while mitigating supply chain risks andmaintaining US technological and economic leadership. Billions in federal investments as wellas commitments from private companies has revealed the next hurdle; the US is facing a growingworkforce shortage in the semiconductor industry [1] with a projected 67,000 unfilledsemiconductor jobs for technicians, engineers, and computer scientists by 2030 [2]. The shortageof STEM students is a major contributor to the problem. Perhaps even more important is the lackof high school curricula on semiconductors despite almost eighty years of history.To address the problem, we proposed a

It is duringprimary school that students establish first impressions of possible career options5. Finally, at alleducational levels, technology projects can help make mathematics and science content relevantto students by illustrating these subjects’ application in real-world projects6.To build the foundation for the next generation of technicians and engineers, we need elementaryteachers who are introducing their students to technology and
