Today was the first day of our weekend trip through Switzerland. The day started with a visit to the headquarters of Sensirion, a company that develops and manufactures sensors. We attended presentations on automation and research and development at the company.

Today was the first day of our weekend trip through Switzerland. The day started with a visit to the headquarters of Sensirion, a company that develops and manufactures sensors. We attended presentations on automation and research and development at the company. They also gave us a gift, one of their temperature and humidity sensors. After that, we were given a tour of the facility to see how they manufacture 1 billion sensors each year. It was such a great experience, and we are very grateful to Sensirion for this opportunity.


Next, we returned to Zurich, stopping along the way at a park on Lake Zurich to eat lunch. Following lunch, we toured the Lindt chocolate factory, where we learned about chocolate's history and the chocolate-making process. We received numerous free samples and also purchased more chocolate at the gift shop.


After the chocolate factory, we hit the road again to travel to Bern. We had some free time to explore the city and some of the group decided to treat ourselves with a nice dinner. After dinner, we explored the city some more before winding down for the night and getting ready for the fun weekend ahead.
