International Museum Day is upon us and we are excited to highlight one of the ways we increase access to STEM education in our communities! We work with local museums and science centers near our Micron Technology sites to enable them to provide STEM activities in the heart of their communities. In honor of hashtag#InternationalMuseumDay, we celebrate a few museums who are helping to inspire children from around the globe to pursue a future in STEM! In Germany, our grants empower the Deutsches Museum to offer "Tech and Tinkering" Workshops, engaging underrepresented and disadvantaged communities in STEM activities beyond the traditional classroom setting. In partnership with the Science Centre Singapore, we launched the inaugural Micron Chip Camp in Singapore for Malay and Muslim students enrolled in the Yayasan MENDAKI program. In Idaho, we are proud to support the efforts of the Discovery Center of Idaho by providing funding for Title I STEM field trips, school break camps and classes, and teen programs to inspire students of all ages in STEM learning. The Micron Innovation Lab at the Center enables DCI to build and expand upon their cherished "Classics Collection" of exhibits they have on-site. In Central New York, the Foundation works with the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology (MOST) to provide STEM activities with a focus on underrepresented students all year long – and Micron Technology also supports MOST in many ways.
Last week we collaborated with Girl Scouts of Japan and Hiroshima University to bring Chip Camp to Japan for another round! It was just over a year ago that we launched the STEM Badge Program for girls to explore the pathways for future #STEM careers. Chip Camp was the first STEM Badge Program in which almost 150 junior high school girls participated since last year. This year, 46 girls mainly from Western Japan, including Hiroshima, joined the 3-day long program. The first two days, the girls enjoyed learning about semiconductors through lectures by Micron Technology engineers and had a hands-on STEM workshop with Hiroshima University professors and students. On the final day, the scouts visited Micron's fabrication facility and had a panel session with Micron young female engineers, exchanging opinions on how females can take a leadership roles in engineering fields. They also had a special visit from Hiroshima Prefecture Vice Governor Ms. Tamai, who joined the panel session, and answered questions from the girl scouts. https://lnkd.in/gth7Dsrx
Micron India hosted students from across five premier engineering colleges for a two-day 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙣 𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙥 in Hyderabad. The workshop was offered under the flagship 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙣 (𝙐𝙍𝘼𝙈) 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢. The third-year engineering students were invited to explore the world of semiconductors, learn from senior India leaders about industry developments, and participate in hackathons to test their skills and temperament. Students also toured our state-of-the-art India labs and learned about Micron’s technology and product leadership through the Micron India Experience Center (MIEC). We “live” our people value by investing in innovative programs that attract and engage top talent; building a creative, diverse and inclusive team; and benefiting our global communities.

Micron’s efforts to build an engineering workforce that has better women 🙋representation of women starts with identifying potential candidates in universities to participate in our 𝙂𝙡𝙤𝙗𝙖𝙡 𝙒𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢. This is a 6-week journey where young women with engineering talent are nurtured to take the next big step into the workforce. Women mentors from across Micron’s functions participated to help the young students grow, make memories, build relationships and widen their horizons over the 6 weeks. The program culminated in a visit to the Micron Experience Center in Hyderabad where they learned about Micron’s legacy of innovation and our portfolio of products, and the end uses that they enable.
Micron Announces New Semiconductor Assembly and Test Facility in India Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU), one of the world’s largest semiconductor companies, today announced plans to build a new assembly and test facility in Gujarat, India. Micron’s new facility will enable assembly and test manufacturing for both DRAM and NAND products and address demand from domestic and international markets. Phased construction of the new assembly and test facility in Gujarat is expected to begin in 2023. Phase 1, which will include 500,000 square feet of planned cleanroom space, will start to become operational in late 2024, and Micron will ramp capacity gradually over time in line with global demand trends. Micron expects Phase 2 of the project, which would include construction of a facility similar in scale to Phase 1, to start towards the second half of the decade. Micron’s investment will be up to $825 million over the two phases of the project and will create up to 5,000 new direct Micron jobs and 15,000 community jobs over the next several years. Under the government's “Modified Assembly, Testing, Marking and Packaging (ATMP) Scheme,” Micron will receive 50% fiscal support for the total project cost from the Indian central government and incentives representing 20% of the total project cost from the state of Gujarat. The combined investment by Micron and the two government entities over the course of both phases will be up to $2.75 billion.
Micron Launches U.S.-Japan University Partnership for Workforce Advancement and Research & Development in Semiconductors (UPWARDS) for the Future Micron Technology, Inc., the largest foreign investor in Japan over the last five years, today announced the launch of the U.S.-Japan University Partnership for Workforce Advancement and Research & Development in Semiconductors (UPWARDS) for the Future.
