Why Hold the Contest?
Every day, there are countless design ideas generated by engineers, students, and entrepreneurs across seven continents. However, only a very small fraction of these ideas make it to market, achieving both success and impact. To encourage more makers to dream big and build a better tomorrow, Elecrow is hosting its first Electronics Design Contest. We want to see your amazing designs and ideas, whether they are finished products or still in development. Any project related to topics like Boards & Shields, IoT, ML & AI, etc., is welcome. Each contestant can upload multiple projects, and if your projects are excellent, you can receive multiple awards.
If you want to know the timeline, detailed prizes, and participation way of the Contest, please keep reading!
