My first time touring a clean room
by Samantha MurrayOne of my memorable RPI Firsts was touring the Microscale and Nanoscale Cleanroom. I went with the inaugural class of the RPI-Hudson Valley Community College Semiconductor Scholars, and we all had to put on "bunny suits," gloves and hair nets before we could step into the facility. I learned a few things about microchips that day, but the best part was seeing the students get their first hands-on experience with the industry.
