First sparks

Semicon Desert is the start of Sonora’s semiconductor design movement — a place where engineers learn together, build together, and put new ideas to work.

The first challenge is about AI sensors. Teams are building real prototypes, training models, testing signals, and proving what local talent can do.

Every sensor built teaches something new. Every dataset shared makes the next build faster. Every hand that joins raises the whole region’s game.

This is how industries begin — people learning by building, and building by believing the next version will be better.
