Sixth Sense Design Challenge: About This Challenge

Sixth Sense Design Challenge

About this Challenge | The Kit | The Prizes | Intro Video | Technical Documents | The Judges | Example Application | Terms & Conditions | The Challengers

 

The ultimate upgrade design challenge.

 

Integrate the STMicroelectronics Sensor Tile and TE Connectivity Sensors into your project for the chance to win a prize package worth up to $2,600 USD.

 

The Sixth Sense Design Challenge will choose 10 sponsored challengers to receive a Challenger Kit for FREE provided by STMicroelectronics and TE Connectivity.

 

STMicroelectronics and TE Connectivity, in collaboration with element14, would like to introduce the Sixth Sense Design Challenge

 

Challengers will be tasked with upgrading a device, such as a remote control car, drone, robot, tunnel exploration bot, etc and then giving it a sixth sense with ST and TE.

 

Challengers can use an off the shelf product or build one as part of the challenge. These projects should show how the STMicroelectronics Sensor Tile and the provided TE Connectivity Components can be used to improve the device's sensing and data collection.

 

What senses will you add to your device?

 

Example applications could include:

imageForest Fire Sensing Drone

imageA Self Guiding Drain Snake

imageSmart Telelocation Device

imageHazardous Environment Survey Drone

imageUnderwater Pipeline monitor

imageAutomated Rescue Buoy

imageRobotic Paperboy

imageSelf Righting Buggy

 

The Sixth Sense Challenge will have 10 sponsored Challengers who will each receive the Kit for free.

 

Unlike previous Design Challenges we have extended the build period to 15 weeks of build time.

During this build period, challengers are to create or modify a device and the Sensor Tile and at least one TE product and blog 10 times in the Sixth Sense Design Challenge space.

 

But anyone can join the Challenge as a non-sponsored Challenger!

 

Here's how: get the STMicroelectronics Sensor Tile and TE Connectivity Component PackSTMicroelectronics Sensor Tile and TE Connectivity Component Pack and integrate them into your project, and post 10 blogs about your design journey in the Sixth Sense Design Challenge space (tagging your blogs 'Sixth Sense').

 

What are Design Challenges?

 

Design Challenges are 11-week-long build challenges where applicants submit a project idea to a panel of judges. The best 20 are sent the official challengers build kit and spend the next 11 weeks building and blogging about it on the element14 community. After the 11 weeks are over, the judges choose which projects and blogs deserve the prizes and glory that come with being a Design Challenge winner.

 

 

Update:

 

-Challenge Build Period has been extended to 15 weeks, with 10 challengers chosen.

-Use existing or new devices/vehicles*

-The deadline for project application submissions is 19th November, 2018.

-Challengers Announced End of November.

-Closing Date 25th of March 2019.

 

All Challengers must build their projects in accordance with the Challenge's Terms and Conditions. All projects must include the STMicroelectronics Sensor Tile and TE Connectivity Component PackSTMicroelectronics Sensor Tile and TE Connectivity Component Pack.

 

* As most of you know, our initial aim with this challenge was some kind of small, autonomous vehicle such as a drone. We realized after some feedback that our messaging was a bit fuzzy! The goal of this challenge is not to necessarily create something from scratch but rather to enhance and use the given kit to do some kind of amazing upgrade that will imbue your device (custom or out of the box) with greater power. We know our e14 Community member can and will come up with some amazing things!

    Hi Doug, we are extending this application period at least while we investigate if we want to make any changes to the challenge. We will keep you all in the loops.

    T&C's are fairly clear I would think many projects will require quite a few more sensors ... so yes suppliment all you want. Mark

    Hi all,

     

    I wanted to know the current status of this project. With my hopes high for the coming holidays I kind of bought much stuff long ago that I need to make the drone. Keeping in mind that I have much to learn to use the antenna and stuff. I invested quite some time and money into it.

     

    I really applied like too long time ago. Is there an update on the contest or the winners??

    Regards

    anuag

    Either a hiccup in the system or the E14 team and Dudley has fixed it. When I look at my content/drafts and open my saved Sixth Sense application tonight there are now buttons for edit and delete. Thanks for all the help and whoever may have fixed it in the web support team image

    Hi Phil e14phil,

     

    I need a bit of help please; I had a draft application saved and it is still visible to me under content/drafts but I cannot submit it or edit it any longer. I probably created it prior to the new site rollout a few weeks ago.

     

    Therefore I thought I would be able to work around that and submit  a new application, but the button to do so isn't visible to me (I guess because I have already applied).

    regards,

     

    Rod
