Chip design is one of the most important and rapidly growing fields in the world right now, but it also has one of the highest barriers to entry, making it difficult for college students to gain hands-on experience. SiliconBadgers aims to change that by making chip design more accessible to students of all experience levels. We teach the fundamentals of digital design, verification, and the chip development process, while bringing in guest speakers from companies such as NVIDIA and AMD to share their experiences working in the industry. As members build their skills, we will work toward designing and verifying a chip of our own.
Whatever year you're in, Silicon Badgers gives you real, hands-on experience you can't get in a classroom alone.
Get an early, hands-on introduction to digital logic and chip design — years before most students see this material. Build a strong foundation and a head start on your degree and career path.
Apply your coursework to a real ASIC design project, build a portfolio that stands out for internships and full-time roles, and work alongside a team on something that ships.
Get experience actually designing chips and leading teams through the design process — plus direct industry connections. A great way to mentor undergrads while sharpening your own leadership and technical depth.
