How do billions of transistors fit on a single chip? This Maker Thursday session gets into VLSI and gives you hands-on time with Vivado, the tool engineers use to design and simulate digital circuits. We'll cover the basics of how chips are designed, walk through the Vivado workflow, and explore what happens at the layer below the software most of us work with. Good for anyone curious about hardware design, or how the silicon behind everyday devices actually comes together.
