Welcome to the PiCasso Design Challengers Page!

Our 'PiCasso' Design Challenge, a collaboration/association with the Pi Foundation, has now launched. The 15+ Challengers will use the Raspberry Pi Model 3 B+Raspberry Pi Model 3 B+ to create a masterpiece, from an art installation to a home decoration. These Challengers will receive a Kit for FREE.

It's been a wonderful month of amazing and varied applications, so much so that we've upped the sponsored challengers from 15 to 20. They ranged from interactive canvases, reactive trees, and computer vision installations to art exhibitions.

Please join us in congratulating the official sponsored Challengers. We look forward to reading all your initial blogs introducing your project designs.
