Hi, I’m Matt Venn!

Matthew Venn is a science & technology communicator and electronic engineer. He brings 20 years of engineering experience to create excellent and innovative learning experiences for people all over the world.

I have helped people like you to create thousands of designs. I can teach you how to design chips and how to get them made!

If you've got any interest in how the sausage is made you should get on the course and you should dig in and find out more. I mean this was the work of secret witches and wizards in mysterious cloaks casting strange incantations over a cauldron! This was all secret stuff and I love that this project is trying to do to silicon design what the open source community has been trying to do with software for the last 30 years. This feels like the next logical step and I think we'll look back and say well of course you can make your own chips that's just a thing and it will just be obvious and commonplace and I look forward to that.
