A wonderful project with the theme of this challenge at its core. 

Upcycling a old e-waste PC into a IoT controlled Mini-Fridge.  

This project was well written, had great use of the kit, and included a great Bluetooth app. Including 3D printed components, and of course fingerprint security to keep those beers secure!
