One Grand Prize Winners Receives a SNES Classic and a $200 Shopping Cart!

One of the things that jumps out about the Electronic Toys is that many of you used this as an opportunity to do something fun for the younger generation of electronics enthusiasts. Whether you are young or old, these competitions have always been a great platform for learning and having fun at the same time (the best kind of learning). Every competition is different, this one in particular was all about building toys for learning and fun. Whether it was a challenging brain puzzler, a weekend project for kids, or spidy suit with built-in intelligence, a way to teach children Arduino, and a musical instrument. Thank you for taking the time to participate, and inspiring us with your amazing creativity and energy!

But toys aren't just for kids. Some of us, myself included, never stopped playing with toys and that was also what this theme was about. Some of the projects included Others, built fun toys for adults such as augmented glasses, mp3 musical boxes, and hacks involving the Picade that was a finisher prize for the PiCasso Design Challenge. R2D2 also made an appearance as one of those hacks!

This competition was sincerely a joy to watch and something hopefully the joy and magic of these toys will help inspire the next generation of electronics engineers. With so many great projects we're going to need help. With that said, it's time to pick the winners of the last project competition, the Electronic Toys competition. By volunteering to judge you help ensure that the winners of Electronic Toys reflect the diversity of thought and opinion that makes this the best online community for engineers in the galaxy!

1 Grand Prize Winner will receive a Super Nintendo Classic plus a $200 Shopping Cart.
3 First Place Winners will receive a $100 Shopping Cart.

Those of you that have volunteered to judge in the past, you know the drill. Comment below to let me know or message me directly at tariq.ahmad.

You're under no obligation to vote for the best project but we do ask that you look for complete projects and let us know your thoughts on the winners you pick.

The guidelines are loosely structured but are designed to encourage complete project submissions (with steps and video proof), and we want this program to be something that everyone in the community can participate to post smaller projects that fit within a theme (a theme the members pick in a monthly poll) .

For each project submission did the entrant do the following:

Follow the Steps - Did they provide the steps it took to complete the project (text, video, or images) and/or schematics.
Submit Video Proof - Did they post a video proof of their project?
Stick to the Theme - How well did the project stick to the theme of the competition?
Demonstrate Originality - Did they come up with a clever name for their project? Or did they introduce something new or that is not commercially available?
