Next level of learning is to "BUILD"

-- "I've learned so much from my mistakes .... I'm thinking of making a few more"


I have 5 courses on marketplace, and they at-most cover everything needed to be certified VLSI engineer.


But I think, I should be doing something more to this and the above image pretty much covers it.


How about a lab (First principle lab), which enables you do build and simulate your own MOSFETs, use those MOSFET's to build your own gates, use those gates to build your own block (may be a divide-by-2 clock or MUX) and use your blocks to build your own IC.


In current scenario to do this, you need an industry standard timing libraries, CAD tools, etc. which makes whole learning process a bit expensive


With the above concept, you will be able to build and test your own design or build your own IP and may be sell it for millions. And, with about ~9600 learners in my community, its will be almost like an online VLSI company, with users as partners, contributing to building of lab, testing your own products and make money out of it.


How's that?
