A new month means a new AskE14. Engineers, makers, and problem‑solvers are always building things simply because it’s fun to see what’s possible. Whether it’s a weekend experiment, a clever hack, or a wildly over‑engineered passion project, those moments capture the pure joy of creating.

Time for the question

    I have so many favorites, each with its own special reasons for joy, that it is hard to choose just one, but at this moment the electric hula hoop is edging out some other contenders...

    I am working on a new project that may also be a contender because I expect to play with it for many hours, but it isn't complete yet....
