Hello Community members! As some of you know, we are celebrating the Community's 10th Birthday this year.  In our excitement, we thought a lot about what we wanted to do for our 10th birthday and came up with a variety of activities from the absolutely ridiculous (renting a bouncy castle, RasPi piñatas, partying on a private island) to the less ridiculous (team dinner and cake woowoo!) but once we found out our birthday would be coinciding with the release of the new Raspberry Pi 4, we knew we had to celebrate our birthday with Pi, not cake! (Please insert loud vuvuzela sounds here.)

 

As many of you have probably already seen over in the Raspberry Pi space, there's been a flurry of activity surrounding this latest release. Many retailers have either completely sold out or have all versions on back-order. Luckily, we managed to snag some of the elusive new Pi's in order to entice you all to help us continue celebrating our birthday through the summer by building some awesome projects.

 

So: what do you have to do to be in the running for one of the brand new Raspberry Pi 4's? Just follow the instructions below!

 

1. Register and/or log-in to the element14 Community

2. Leave a comment on this post telling us what you'd build with the new Pi 4 and its fun upgraded capabilities

 

After July 15th, we'll select up 20 members to receive a Pi!

 

 

Contest is now closed! Thanks so much to everyone who participated. We are in the process of reaching out to all our winners and will be shipping out your Pis the first week of August! Stay tuned for an update to this post where we will announce winners.

 

Want to be in the running for MORE cool stuff? For those of you who build said cool project(s) and post a blog along with photos and/or video in the Raspberry Pi space, tag your blog with HappyBirthdaye14 so we can all see your awesome work, appreciate it and continue the birthday celebrations by basking in the creativity of our Community members. If you do, we have some digital and/or physical "goodie bags" full of surprise swag and Newark/Farnell stuff we want to give away to you!

 

So, let us know in the comments below what fun projects you're looking forward to building and sharing!

 

And, if you haven't already checked out the plethora of posts surrounding the new Pi or the anniversary posts started by rscasny cstanton tariq.ahmad e14phil - check out the links below and participate. Some of them might even lead to more opportunities for cool stuff!

    What I would love to build with a Raspberry Pi 4 is an Ai that would recognize if anything may be dangerous gas in a household.

    I am keen on using it in conjunction with my Christmas light show. I have a 3B+ running my show using FPP and a couple of older pi's running pixels using various capes.

    My next project will be house automation.

    Can never have too much Pi!

    :-)

    I would just use it as a retro console for all my needs. At least in the beginning. Later I would like to use it as the "brain" for a 3d printed swarm of little robots and then just See what I can do with them haha

    I've been toying around with the idea of using the Raspberry Pi to control an escape room game.  With the additional capability of the dual displays with the Raspberry Pi 4, this just became a priority for me.

     

    With dual displays, the game master can use one display in the control room to monitor the status of the puzzles in the game, and the second display can act as a timer/hint delivery device for the players in the game.  The Raspberry Pi will act as an interface between all of the puzzles, so the escape game can run without any combination locks or key locks required.

    My dad would bring home computers from work (he sold them in the 70's) and I would put them together. I some how knew coding. 41 years later, I STILL love coding. I just can't afford to buy these boards. I wish I had one. I would build a a robot with one. I have big dreams.

    It’s Element14’s birthday so what could I build with a brand new Raspberry Pi 4? I suppose it should be party related.

     

    Maybe I could build a machine that would launch 100 party poppers simultaneously

    or.......

    Something that would remove the cork from a bottle of champagne and shake the bottle in true Grand Prix style

    Or .....

    a birthday wish writing machine.

    Or ....

    A cake or pie slicing machine that cuts it up according to the number of guests so everyone gets a fair share (from experience that would be good in the office!).

    Or ...

    A musical chairs game where you can only sit in the chairs with green leds lit.

    Or ....

    a capacitive touch pin the tail on the donkey that hee haws when you get it right.

    Or better still

    A machine with a neural link that stops me having these crazy ideas!!!!
