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…

    Well the 3D printer for the Xmas Lights challange was a real motivator

     

    but even more fun was the Minion giveaways and Minion flavour Duck Tape for the current one.

     

    It is quite weird what motivates us ???

     

    So in some cases it is the little things but a grand prize that is tangable and will keep on going or helping with the hoby for a long time to come is always a winner

     

    So

    Oscilloscope

    DMM

    Soldering Iron / tools

    Vouchers to use at the Newark Store

     

    I think everyone has something different to motivate them so cool and usefull should cover it image

    I like the 3D printer too. image

    I have an Oscilloscope, but would love a Logic Analyzer.

    How about a Spectrum analyzer, should you wish to explore the RF world.
