element14 Year in Review 2016

image

Another year gone. Don't they go by in a blink?

 

I'm actually not a fan of New Year celebrations. They always feel like more of an end, than a beginning. Which is weird, given that I'm so inclined toward nostalgia throughout the rest of the year!

 

But that's probably also one of the reasons I enjoy our Year in Review content so much; looking back over the high points and successes from you guys, which have made the element14 Community such a great place to hang out, for yet another year.

 

Right then! On with the Year in Review show. Our team's been hard at work compiling the best of the best content, so keep checking back here (bookmark and follow the page to stay up to date) over the next week or two and we'll bring you a year's worth of premier projects, Design Challenges, Ben Heck Shows and a whole lot more!

 

Oh, wait! While I have your attention, I'd also like to drop a few of my own random highlights into the mix, which I'll lace into this page as we go.

 

And I want you to do the same -- tell everyone about the highlights that really stood out for you this year by posting them in the comments below!

 

I'm going to kick things off with a 2016 retrospective that Top Member Workshopshed? recently put together about his year in making. Over to you, Andy!

Year in Review 2016: The Best of The Ben Heck Show, 2016

Remember to post link to your favourite Ben Heck Show episodes of 2016 in the comments below!

Year in Review 2016: Top Tech Predictions for 2017

    Hi Spanner, Nice end of the year review. From my perspective, we had some excellent member posts this year and I believe 2016 was one of Element 14's best. I greatly enjoyed interacting with the membership…
