Return to Azure Sphere*

 

 

element14 and Hackster.io have launched two great Design Challenges based around the Avnet Azure Sphere MT3620 kit, and for members from eligible countries we have 20,000 free kits available so you can join the competitions! The registration process is simple: just be a member of the element14 Community or register for a free account, then follow the "register" link above, where all the details are provided. You will be responsible for paying any shipping charges, sales taxes, VAT, or customs duties necessary in your country when you check out with your free kit on the e-commerce site for your country. Please note that being an element14 member makes one (1) Azure Sphere kit available to you, and any abuse of the free kit system may be grounds for disqualifying your entry into the competition and cancelling your kit order.

You can do your registration for the free kit on a mobile or desktop browser and receive your voucher code, but please use a desktop browser to complete your purchase order on the e-commerce website where you apply the voucher code. Please also note that some members have had problems with their ad-blocking programs interfering with the use of the voucher code, if you are having trouble please try disabling your ad-blocker on the e-commerce page and then enter the voucher code.

 

Please note that in some countries the price of the kit will be reduced not totally to 0, but rather by nearly all of its face value, so the kit itself might still have a very small price attached to it. This depends on the functionality of the e-commerce site, but the kit will be free or nearly free in all regions after the voucher code is applied.

 

Please also note that in some countries there will show only 1 kit in stock; this is due to the functionality of the site and does not reflect the actual stock available. If the kit shows that it is in stock with at least 1 piece, there will be significant amount of stock to fill orders for the free kits. The most up to date information on whether free kits are available in your country can be found in this document, so please bookmark it.

 

 

NOTE FOR USA, UNITED KINGDOM, IRELAND, FRANCE, ITALY, SPAIN: ADDITIONAL STOCK OF FREE KITS HAS BEEN ADDED, REGISTER NOW WHILE THEY ARE STILL AVAILABLE!

NOTE FOR GERMANY: FREE KITS WILL BE AVAILABLE STARTING NOVEMBER 19 2019 TO BUSINESS USERS ONLY.

NOTE FOR ALL OTHER COUNTRIES: STOCK OF FREE KITS HAS BEEN CLAIMED. CHALLENGES ARE STILL OPEN TO THOSE WHO OBTAIN THEIR OWN AVNET AZURE SPHERE MT3620 KITS.

 

For those who are not from a country eligible for the free Azure Sphere kits, you can still join the challenges! Just obtain an Avnet Azure Sphere kitAvnet Azure Sphere kit on your own, making sure that it is approved to work in your country, and check out the details of the challenges in our Azure Sphere space. The challenges are based around the Avnet Azure Sphere MT3620 kit; no other Azure based kits are eligible.

 

Please see below regarding countries which are eligible for free Azure Sphere kits. If your country is marked YES, you can order your kit using the "register" button above. If your country is marked NO, you will need to purchase your own Azure Sphere kit. If your country is not mentioned specifically, but the Azure Sphere kit is available for purchase and functions in your region, you may also join the challenges if you purchase your own kit, assuming you are eligible for our Design Challenges based on our Terms and Conditions.

    Hi Jordan, unfortunately Canada and Mexico both did have to be disallowed, but believe me that we tried to make it work for every country! And there are many we're working on right now to add support.

    Hi Robert, unfortunately the challenge submissions closed on November 30 2019, so the free kit availability is now closed.

    Hi, I am just finding out about this.  Are there still kits available for those in the US?  If so, I am not finding the register for free kit link.

    Hi there, in terms of free kits available unfortunately Belgium is not currently supported. In terms of purchasing the kits, I am not sure of the country specific rules, it would be best to work with customer support to understand whether non-business individuals can purchase this kit.

    Hi there, unfortunately Malaysia and the rest of Asia / Pacific (except India) have now exhausted their stock of free kits, so there will be a "buy now" button instead of the register button for those countries.

    Hello,

     

    I am from Malaysia, and Malaysia is listed as country that has FREE kit available.

    But I can only see "Buy Now" button, instead of "Register" button. Can you please check if anything goes wrong?

     

    Colleague of mine (also from Malaysia) has gotten his free kit few weeks back. So I guess it should works.

     

    Thanks for the great effort!


    Regards,

    Lois
