In what's become an annual tradition, since this program started, we award special prizes to winners of our holiday special and then let the winners choose another member to give a special gift to another member for their project. We announce the winners of the gift to gives on Valentines Day and award the member who gives and the the member who receives a gift a special Heart Trophy to commemorate the occasion. This year, was a lot like last year but we were lucky enough to award bigger prizes. We had a lot of really exciting projects during the Holiday Special 19 and RF (Radio Frequency) and it's good to see some of these projects, many of them receiving votes from our community member judges during the winners announcements, receiving their much deserved prizes.

Valentine's Day Winners were Chosen by the winners of Holiday Special 19 from the following projects:

Project14 | Holiday Special 19: Meet the Projects that Give Heart to the Holidays!

We also set up special prizes (Raspberry Pi 3 in box) selected by the winners of RF (Radio Frequency) from the following projects:

Without further adieu here are your winners.....

"There were a lot of projects that I liked, but the video and walk through/explanations for the Jingle Wi-FPy: Encoding a Tune with UDP Packets project just felt really well done to me (wish I could make my videos feel more professional like that).
