Getting hands-on with LEDs and logic to make science tangible in the classroom

How do you make the complex reality of chips and electronics accessible to a broad audience? TU/e researcher Elles Raaijmakers believes an educational game can do just that. In the game I.C. Tycoon (working title), players take on the role of chip designer and manufacturer. They work for demanding clients and solve problems that are surprisingly close to reality. The project is led by postdoc Raaijmakers, under the guidance of experienced TU/e professor Peter Baltus.
