Team Contests?

I think it could be a good instance for people to know each other better while spending time developing a project. I would expect a team to be able to accomplish more than single individuals too.

Would anyone find a team competition interesting?

What are your thoughts?

    We're always looking for new things to do and initiatives. One of the things you would have to do is figure out how this would work as far as how to promote ahead of the time to arrange people to get in…

    I think we could allow members to participate as individuals too, but to be honest, I don't think that anyone with enough motivation would have trouble finding other members to form a team. Some members…

    This is an idea that I am currently chasing.   The key is that this needs to be different from any other program we have on the community.  I think it solves a few problems we run into with short project competitions...  Not enough time to finish, lots of activity already going on, and what to do with past themes. I like the idea of having team competitions done at a leisurely pace.    I also like the idea of engineers working in teams and focusing on one another's strengths.  It would also give you motivation to build out a project you work on and choose teammates once you've gotten a chance to see what other people can do.   In all,  it would be a wonderful learning experience.

    Thanks dougw!  

     

    We'll likely need to do a pilot of some sort to see if it works.  Community is great about letting us try things to see if it works.   If we can make this happen would be interested in insight from any of the members on how to make this work.

     

    Correction made.  See a lot of options think would be cool to see people working on.   Lots to figure and open to everyone's thoughts!

    To encourage maximum participation and inspire the most ambitious projects, it would be desirable to allow teams to pick their favorite MCU.
