Help us Shape Design Challenges - Prizes

e14phil

Hello everyone!

 

For you that don't know, I help head up the Design Challenges team here at element14 and we are always looking to get community input on how to improve our programs.

 

If you have not heard of our Design Challenges, they are11 week long build challenges where applicants submit a project idea to a panel of judges. The best 15 are sent the official challengers build kit and spend the next 11 weeks building and blogging about it on the community.

After the 11 weeks are over, the judges choose which projects and blogs deserve the prizes and glory that comes with being a Design Challenge winner and winning a set of amazing Prizes.  We run multiple a year and recommend everyone to apply for a spot.

Think it is too much of a first build project? Check out Project14 for a quicker, lighter, build challenge.

 

Now, the question, how can you help today?

 

What would you like to see as prizes for Design Challenges?

(Preferably that would be available world wide)

 

To help jog your memories on what we have given away recently, here are our most recent design challenges and prizes:

  • I like tools and instruments.  I have the basics but they are for the most part entry level and upgrades would be welcome.  Vouchers also work and they would allow me to try out some of the more esoteric sensors and components available these days.  Having said that the main incentive for me to enter a contest is a theme that interests me and a belief that I have a good project idea.
