The History of Chip Camp: October 2004The Nanotech Chip Camp at UCSB is a fledgling program whose origin dates to October of 2004 when 6 students and a teacher (David Mann) from Santa Maria High School patterned silicon wafers in the educational clean room using photolithography. Every student who had this lab experience asked if they could return to the clean room for a longer period of time to learn more about nanofabrication processes. So, by popular demand, the first weekend-long "chip camp" was born.
