Looking back before we move forward ⚡️

Last April 29 and May 16, The IEEE Industrial Electronics & Photonics Philippine Joint Chapter held Cohort 1 and 2 of the IEEE Open Silicon TinyTapeout Philippine IC Design Bootcamp! 🧑‍💻

This event paved the way for face-to-face and online participants to delve deep into the world of Integrated Circuit Design, through the help of amazing and insightful speakers, exciting and interesting hands-on workshops, to booths that grab the curiosity of the innovative mind. 🧠

Making an impact on Filipino hardware innovation would not have been made possible without our speakers, partners and sponsors, TAs, facilitators, project heads, volunteers, and of course our participants! Here's to a smarter and more technological Philippines. 👀
