Honoring the Achievements of a Middle School’s “Jedi Engineers”

Recently the Micromanipulator Company was proud to host the award-winning 2016-17 Eagle Valley Middle School Jedi Engineers of Carson City as well as school district officials, local businesses, families and friends.  The March 16^th event was held at our facility with the intent to recognize the Jedi Engineers’ robotics achievements.  Each member of the group was presented with a proclamation from the Western Manufacturing Alliance that names them as the first “WMA Junior Technology Advancement Partners.”

The accomplishments thus far from the team was to win the First Place Champion’s Award at the Northern Nevada FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Championship that took place earlier this year.  The Jedi Engineers will next represent Nevada at the FLL World festival that will take place this month in Houston, Texas as well as at the FLL International Championship that will be held this summer in Bath, England.

During the celebration at Micromanipulator’s facility, the team gave us a demonstration of their award-winning FLL robot.  The Jedi Engineers also presented us with their innovative solution for animal shelters that would cost-effectively address the problem of shelter dogs coming in a variety of sizes.  Their solution was to design configurable cages with easy-to size, movable plexiglass walls that would make the animals more comfortable and provide visibility to one another. Both factors have been shown to reduce the dogs’ anxiety.

The event was emceed by Micromanipulator’s CEO/President, Mike Jackson, along with his wife, Kathy Jackson.  Mike is President of the Northern Nevada Development Authority Executive Board as well as a member of the WMA Executive Board.  Both he and his wife are active members of the Carson City Schools Foundation.

Mike explains that, “Micromanipulator was proud to host the Jedi Engineers so they could share the amazing amount of work they have put into their projects, along with the knowledge and capabilities they have learned from their efforts and dedication.”   He goes on to say that, “The business and technical challenges faced by these remarkable students are similar to those that entrepreneurs and startups have to deal with. Responding with determination, persistence and innovative thinking, the Jedi Engineers worked through the difficulties and emerged as winners.”

Another way we offer our customers’ assistance with purchasing the optimal tools for their needs is to provide an online Request Quotation form. Along with your personal contact information and availability, we ask that you answer some basic questions to get the process started in the right direction. 

Obviously we need to know the product category you would like a quotation for such as: a wafer probe station, application board probe station, accessories, thermal chuck or product service/support.  Next it is helpful to know your area of interest such as failure analysis, wafer level reliability, device characterization, process modeling or process monitoring (i.e. CV).  We also like to know if you are currently using probing equipment. 

There are additional questions that are optional but can help to further narrow down your needs so we encourage you to visit our website and take a look at it.  Manipulator is proud of the fact that we design, engineer and manufacture an extensive line of accessories and consumables that will help outfit your probe station to not only meet your application needs but your budget and personal preferences as well.  Furthermore, while our products are sold worldwide, they are proudly produced at our Carson City, NV plant.  Contact us to learn more.

This attention to the rapid changes and demands of the industry means we have developed reliable, high-performance products for virtually all wafer testing applications.  Along with our line of quality probe stations, we also produce consumables designed for optimal probing performance.  Our products include a range of passive probe holders, active probe holders, and high frequency probe holders as well as one of the best selections of probe tips on the market with over 90 tips available.    

So whether you need a probe tip designed for low resistance or low current, high power or high frequency, durability, or high or low temperature contact optimization, you will find it at Micromanipulator.  In addition we support applications that need high volume production, high value critical FA return, and everything in between, and have the probe tip to handle it.  We also offer tips in both straight and bent style probe holders as well as single unit holders such as our fixed tip Model 44.
