Semi Foundation

Sponsored by the SEMI Foundation, SEMI High Tech U (HTU) is a three-day, career exposure program for high school age students 14 – 17 years of age. HTU exposes students to the importance of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills through fun and interactive, hand-on activities that take place at high tech industry and university sites.  Taught by industry volunteers, students learn in an atmosphere that fosters curiosity and encourages questions.  

After attending a HTU program, students understand the education and career pathways leading them to high tech fields, allowing them to make informed education and career choices. The SEMI Foundation commits to helping high school students gain a better understanding of how Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) are used to solve “real world” problems. This realization fosters a renewed commitment to explore a future in high tech industry.

The SEMI Foundation has been delivering the SEMI High Tech U program since 2001 and to-date, has reached over 6,000 student through nearly 200 programs around the world.
