Join the club

Everyone is welcome. There is no selection process and no prior experience required — several current members started by turning up.

Before you click step 1:The Chip Design School is a free course run by YADRO with MIET, MFTI and ITMO — not a club application. Our Saturday sessions follow its curriculum, which is why we point you at it. Joining the club itself takes no form at all.

How it works

Sign up for the Chip Design School

The free YADRO/MIET course our Saturday sessions follow. Opens on their site — it is their programme, not ours.

Build something of your own

A project you choose, published here and on GitHub.

Compete, if you want to

Work toward the YADRO SoC Design Challenge. Entirely optional.

Still not sure?

Ask in the chat, or simply turn up on a Saturday and see what we are working on.
