With Project14 starting to come back to life, it is time to start coming up with theme suggestions again.

3. LED, LCD or E-Ink projects

For 2024, how about a "Really Silly Project".

A Monty Python-ish device whose purpose is totally silly & fun, maybe pointed and thought provoking, but makes people smile. The design could be silly Rube Golberg-ish as well.

The Project14 page has Music Time for the next one. It might be that the poll has remained open since and people have continued voting, lifting Pocket Calculator above Music.

It is showing November for me, but you need to scroll down to see it.

We currently are in 'Hack the Holidays' at the moment so I'm guessing it is Pocket Calculators next followed by a Theme Poll for the start of the New Year.
