🌎 SCALE K-12 is going global!
From Türkiye 🇹🇷 to Sweden 🇸🇪, Deputy Director Dr. Greg Strimel recently served as a visiting scholar at Umeå University, sharing SCALE K-12 curriculum and research on bringing microelectronics into K-12 classrooms.
#SCALEK12 #STEMEducation
Director Dr. Tamara Moore delivered an opening keynote at @educconorg 2026 in Konya, Türkiye 🇹🇷, sharing Purdue expertise with an international audience.
And Türkiye is only our first stop... 👀
Come back tomorrow to see where another SCALE K-12 PI is headed!
Loogootee, let’s celebrate Mrs. Tippery! 💚
Brandy Tippery is one of SCALE K–12’s Noyce Microelectronics Master Teacher Fellows. What do you appreciate about her? Tell us in the replies, and follow along to meet a different teacher each week.
It’s #NationalCodingWeek! 💻🎮
For #FunFriday, explore micro Masters: Control the Game. Students use Scratch and micro to design, test and refine interactive games while building coding and debugging skills.

💡 The lights go out. The microelectronics fail. Can you fix them?
From summer teacher workshop to the classroom, The Day the Lights Went Out brings microelectronics to life.
🎲 Could YOU design a digital dice?
High school students in Roll the Dice design and build a working digital dice on a real PCB—programming, soldering, and testing their own prototypes.
Led by Dr. Greg Strimel, with Noyce Master Teacher Fellows bringing the unit to life.
🛡️ Guardians of the Grid ⚡Students become security engineers, exploring cybersecurity, microcontrollers & Trusted and Assured Microelectronics before designing a secure door lock system with a micro:bit. 🔐Led by SCALE K-12 teacher alumni Jonathan Woessner & Tom Kiesel.
💧🌎 Summer Unit Spotlight: Water, Water Everywhere!
In this middle school unit, students explore water quality, filtration, and microelectronic sensors to design an efficient way to make water potable.
More classroom photos to come. 💧
🚦🎉 Summer Unit Spotlight: Lights, Parade, Action!
K–2 students design a model town and moving parade float while exploring coding, circuits, and microelectronics.
Led by Emily Haluschak and Dr. Tamara Moore during our summer workshop!
