Tài liệu Intel Museum - Education Program Descriptions

Below are descriptions of the Intel Museum’s tour and class offerings. Please note that the
number of students in a class is limited to 18 because of the available seating in our learning lab.
Groups of more than 18 students that schedule a museum class in conjunction with a tour will be
split into two groups. One group will participate in a guided tour of the museum while the other
group takes the class, and then the two groups will switch activities. Due to space constraints, we
cannot accommodate more than 35 students during a two-hour visit.
Museum Tour
· Level: Second through twelfth grades
· Educational Method: Presentation and hands-on exploration
· Maximum Size: 35 students
Participants explore the Intel Museum with an instructor, leaning about topics as
semiconductors, binary code, microprocessor design and manufacturing, clean rooms
and bunny suits.
Binary Beading
· Level: Second through third grades
· Educational Method: Inquiry (hands-on exploration)
· Maximum Size: 10 students
Working with beads, students will gain an understanding of how information is stored in
computers. We will explore how transistors or switches handle information by exploring
binary notation. Something that has only two states, like a transistor or switch, can be
referred to as binary. A 1 represents the transistors “on” state and a 0 represents the
“off” state. Specific sequences and patterns of 1's and 0's generated by multiple
transistors can represent letters, numbers, colors, and graphics. Students will pattern
their initials into the binary code notation for each initial. Students will take away their
binary code in the form of a key chain or necklace.
Schematics, Circuitry and Switches
· Level: Fourth through fifth grades
· Educational Method: Inquiry (hands-on exploration)
· Maximum Size: 18 students
Working with wires, batteries, bulbs and switches, students will gain an understanding of
electrical circuits. Students will explore basic schematic symbols and then work in
teams to build simple series and parallel circuits. We will also explore the concept on
conductivity by building a conductor tester.
