Z2 – Lithographically fabricated IC in a garage fab

The timing of this share is crazy, since I was just looking around a few days ago to see if there were any guides or even kits for doing photolithography at home. It's part of my mission to demystify modern technology for my kids. I couldn't find anything, so this is excellent to see. Far too complex for my kids ages, but it might be cool to replicate at least part of this amazing project when they're older.

Cyanotype Paper is safe fun for kids to try Sun printing silhouettes.

Another project is growing large salt crystals in saturated solution.

The Unitech Electric Static Wand Toy off amazon was also popular last year (poorly built mini Van de Graaff generator.)

Glow in the dark wall paint and a 5 second strobe light is also a classic silhouette demo.

Could also look for linear polarizing sheets, thermochromic sheets, and "Magnetic Viewing film".

Some will like this stuff, others only want to stare at a screen. =3
