Plenary: Small Inspiration
summary
Less than one percent of manufactured processors end up in desktops yet that tiny world matters: an F-150 contains 150 million lines of code, IoT breaches double year to year, and stovetops stall for months for missing chips. Examples run from bit‑slice boards and OPC data explosions to a knee sensor built on a PSOC with 4k RAM (assembly plus C) and timing solved with an FPGA plus MCU. Classroom wins come from micro:bit robots that reliably teach control and sensors.
