&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-bottom:8px;"&gt;Our Experimenting with Thermal Switches Competition a(n) collaboration/association with Kemet, has now launched.&amp;nbsp; The 15 challengers will use the &lt;a class="jive-link-wiki-small" href="/w/documents/27364/about-the-competition?ICID=thermalswitchesDCH-challengers-doc#kit"&gt;Thermal Switches kit&lt;/a&gt; to experiment use, application, response, and more.&amp;nbsp; These Challengers will receive a Challenger Kit for FREE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0;padding-bottom:8px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please join us in congratulating the official sponsored Challengers.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; We look forward to reading all your initial blogs introducing your project designs.&lt;/p&gt;
