Ever wondered how a chip designer does their job? In the Verilog Meetup booth at Maker Faire, you can learn the basics of SystemVerilog hardware description language in a fun way by creating circuits that implement graphical games. We can show you how to use FPGA boards to prototype your designs with reconfigurable logic. We are also compatible with TinyTapeout infrastructure, which allows you to manufacture your design in an ASIC chip. Verilog Meetup in Silicon Valley develops hands-on educational materials that augment the regular curriculum in digital design and is now used in more than 30 universities worldwide. We created two sets of exercises: the first one lowers the barrier to entry into the field, and the other helps to prepare for job interviews in electronic companies.
