This special event celebrates the 3rd birthday of Project14 and the 15th birthday of Arduino with an Open Ended Arduino project competition that kicks off the day before Arduino Day on March 21st, 2020.   The NanoRama project competition is a follow up to  Arduino Day 2020: NanoRama: We're Giving Away Different Nano Boards for Projects that Use Them!   We also launched an Arduino Fundamentals: Part I: Quiz where you can test your knowledge (or argue over) your knowledge of Arduino.    We will also have a round ups of the last two Arduino project competitions to celebrate Arduino Day in what has turned into an annual tradition.

 

For Project14's birthday, you can do any project as long as its done around Arduino.  Any projects submitted for the NanoRama competition will receive a commemorative 2020 Arduino / Project14 badge and qualify for a grand prize of every Arduino Nano board and a $400 Shopping Cart.   Additionally, 3 first place winners will receive a $200 Shopping Cart and the popular Nano BLE Sense board.   Up to 20 Finishers will receive swag including an Arduino Nano (classic) board.image

 

While the Nano board is the featured board, you're free to use any Arduino or Arduino compatible board you like on a topic  of your choice.  This includes projects that use the Official board or IDE, a compatible board or shield, or an AVR dev board using a C or C++ compiler.

 

We've listed almost a 100 projects from the past couple of years, starting with Arduino projects from our first birthday celebration, to help give you ideas:

 

 

We're also aware that this is difficult time around the world, the Covid-19 Virus has upended life as we know it.

 

Your project can also include a Fighting Germs project as suggested in Project14 | Fighting Germs: Win a Thermal Imaging Camera, a Germicidal Lamp, and a Shopping Cart with Matching Charity Donation!

 

Simply tag your post FightingGermsCH and NanoRamaCH if your Fighting Germs project uses an Arduino.
