About SEMIquest™

An Immersive Pop-up Experience Bringing the Story of Semiconductors, Innovation, and Future Technology to Communities Around the World

Created by the SEMI Foundation, SEMIquest™ transforms science centers and community spaces into interactive experiences that help visitors explore the technology shaping modern life and the careers powering the future of microelectronics.

Originally launched at the Arizona Science Center alongside SEMICON West, SEMIquest™ engaged more than 80,000 visitors and is now expanding to new science centers, regions, and global communities.

Where Technology, Innovation, and Discovery Come Together

SEMIquest™ is designed to help people experience semiconductors in a way that is immersive, interactive, and approachable.

The experience combines storytelling, hands-on engagement, visual exploration, and future-focused technology experiences to help visitors better understand how semiconductors power the world around them.

From smartphones and healthcare to transportation, sustainability, artificial intelligence, and space exploration, SEMIquest™ helps connect visitors to the technologies and innovations made possible by microelectronics.

Immersive Experiences That Spark Curiosity

SEMIquest™ transforms semiconductor learning into an engaging public experience designed for students, families, educators, and lifelong learners.

Rather than a traditional exhibit, SEMIquest™ is designed as an experience that encourages exploration, interaction, and curiosity.

Experiences May Include:

Interactive exhibits and installations

Technology and innovation showcases

Hands-on discovery stations

Semiconductor storytelling experiences

Career exploration and future workforce content

Visual and immersive learning environments

Growing Into a Global Experience

SEMIquest™ first launched as a pop-up experience at the Arizona Science Center during SEMICON West, introducing thousands of visitors to the innovation and opportunities behind the semiconductor industry.

Following strong engagement and community interest, the SEMI Foundation is now working to expand SEMIquest™ into additional science centers, museums, and community destinations across the United States and globally.

The vision is to create a scalable experience that helps bring semiconductor awareness and STEM engagement to audiences worldwide.

Built for Collaboration

The SEMI Foundation is actively seeking partnerships with science centers, museums, educational institutions, and community organizations interested in bringing SEMIquest™ experiences to their audiences. SEMIquest™ is designed to complement existing STEM and innovation programming while introducing visitors to one of the world’s most important industries through highly engaging public experiences.

Helping Communities Discover the Technology Behind Modern Life

Semiconductors are foundational to nearly every modern technology, yet many people remain unfamiliar with the industry and the opportunities connected to it.

SEMIquest™ helps make the invisible visible by translating complex technologies into engaging experiences that audiences of all ages can explore and understand.

By expanding awareness and creating memorable public experiences, SEMIquest™ helps inspire future innovators while strengthening understanding of the semiconductor industry’s impact on society.
