It was also a celebration of the power of ideas.
We were determined to do something big on the community after Arduino Day came and went quietly the previous year.

"Oh, Wow! Now that was a nice surprise. First seeing Solo: A Star Wars Story on Thursday night with my daughter and then this. There was a local Astromech Builder group at the showing with their various R2 units so I'm looking to work with them to further develop my Mouse Droid. It's been a good week." - jomoenginer
There were a lot of other great projects in this competition and here is just a taste....
