Design Challenge Prizes - What Do You Want?

nlarson
nlarson over 10 years ago

For those of you who have applied to compete in a Design Challenge at element14 Community what prizes did you feel motivated you the most to sign up? If you haven't applied, what prizes would motivate you the most to sign up and compete?  What prizes would you like to see that haven't been offered yet?  Does a goodie bag of products get you motivated? How about a chance to meet and spend a day with your electronics engineering "celebrity" or maybe mentoring sessions from an industry expert?  

 

Please share your thoughts below to help us make prizes better for future Design Challenges.  (cc: Members Top Members RoadTests & Reviews element14Dave)

 

Thanks!

    Perhaps another question to ask is: how many prizes ? Having more chances to win something may motivate competitors more to actually complete the challenge. For example, the Sudden Impact challenges has…

    Here is an attempt to list the top 11 cool prizes for electronics experimenters in design challenges - in order of desirability:

    1. oscilloscope
    2. 3D printer
    3. camera for video blogging
    4. camera for macro photography
    5. bench power supply
    6. signal generator
    7. accurate DVM
    8. electronics CAD software
    9. android phablet
    10. prototyping breadboards and general purpose modules like PSoC kits, arduinos and RPi's
    11. e14 vouchers

    I am lucky to have most of this stuff but still missing a decent signal generator, so for me #6 and #11 are probably more motivating.
