Course objective
This workshop will introduce students to the fascinating world of semiconductors—tiny but powerful devices that drive modern technology and the global economy. Students will first attend an interactive lecture where they will learn the fundamentals of semiconductor devices, how they work, and why they are essential in our daily lives.
After the theory session, students will put their knowledge into practice in a hands-on lab exercise. They will explore AC-to-DC conversion and see firsthand how semiconductor devices power everyday appliances. In the lab, they will work with a full-bridge rectifier circuit, applying what they’ve learned in a real-world setting.
With a mix of theory and hands-on experience, this workshop is designed to be interactive and engaging—so bring your curiosity and get ready to explore the technology shaping our future!

Prerequisites
It is recommended that the students have a rudimentary understanding of voltage, current, sinusoidal waveforms, and a Diode. In addition, basic familiarity with a multimeter and circuit diagrams is recommended, but not strictly necessary.
Learning objectives
By the end of this workshop, students will be able to:
- Understand the role of semiconductor devices in modern technology and the global economy.
- Recognize the impact of semiconductor devices in daily life.
- Master the principles of AC-to-DC conversion.
- Operate an oscilloscope.
- Understand basic semiconductor properties.
No fixed dates.
The exact date will be determined in consultation with you. However, it is crucial to find a time when our students are ready to hold the workshop for you. We always do our best to accommodate your date preferences.
We have equipment for 10 groups (3 students per group), 30 high school students in total.
We hope that both the students and their teacher will participate in the dialog, asking questions and participating in both the lecture and laboratory work.
Price
The activity itself is free. However, we charge a transportation fee if the visit lies outside the Region of Southern Denmark. If you come to us, you will cover your own transportation costs.
