Youth, execs meet at chip gala focused on STEM

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Mark Sinks, a student at Monta Vista High School in Cupertino, Calif., brought his TI 89 calculator hoping to get Rich Templeton to autograph it.

Sure enough the Texas Instruments chief executive was there and happy to sign the calculator. He also autographed one of the basketballs Sink’s team uses in its FIRST Robotics competition.

It was the kind of moment Templeton and many others at the annual dinner of Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) love--stoking a fire for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in the next generation.
