✨ Student Spotlight: Lucas Helderman ✨

Meet Lucas Helderman, a senior at Loogootee High School and an Indiana Uplands Microelectronics Academy student who is gaining hands-on experience through a Regional Opportunity Initiatives UpSkill youth apprenticeship with Artisan Electronics, Inc.

Through the Academy and apprenticeship program, Lucas is building technical skills, exploring career opportunities in microelectronics, and experiencing how classroom learning translates to the real world.

Lucas says:

"This is an opportunity that no other high school student in the area would get to do. For me, it is one of the best experiences and decisions I have made for myself and my schedule. I have learned countless amounts of things that you don’t get introduced to at school, as well as grasping a feel for what you would like to do in the future."

Experiences like these help students discover what's possible while building skills for future careers right here in the Indiana Uplands.

A special thank you to Artisan Electronics for helping students turn curiosity into career momentum.

We're excited to see where Lucas's journey leads next!

From learner to leader. 🌟

This summer, students from the Indiana Uplands Microelectronics Academy stepped into leadership roles during ROI MOMENTUM's Microelectronics Summer Camps, helping guide activities, mentor younger campers, and share their enthusiasm for STEM and microelectronics.

Along the way, they demonstrated that leadership is about more than technical skills. It's about building confidence, encouraging others, and creating opportunities for the next generation to learn and grow.

We're proud to see these Academy and Bloomfield Middle and High School students giving back and helping inspire future innovators right here in the Indiana Uplands.

Tiny chips. Big missions. 🔬

Innovation starts with curiosity. At ROI MOMENTUM's 4th and 5th grade Summer Camp, students put that curiosity into action through circuits, robots, and cleanroom-inspired activities while discovering how microchips power the technology they use every day.

As junior chipmakers, they designed, tested, and improved technology while building STEM skills and confidence.

Mission completed! 🚨

At ROI MOMENTUM's 2nd and 3rd grade ME Summer Camp, students used robotics and chip-powered tools to complete a rescue and supply mission after a simulated storm disrupted operations.

Along the way, they tested ideas, solved problems, and learned how technology can help people overcome real-world challenges.

Learning is a lot more fun when you're on a mission!
