Overview

The Green Electronics Contest is back and this year we’ve partnered with Digi-Key. Green electronics can be defined as projects that involve sustainability, reuse, upcycling, or anything that prevents or minimizes e-waste.

Prizes for the top submissions are green, too! Winners will take home an Evo 1000w electric scooter, iGo electric bicycle, GoalZero solar generators kits, and more. Some free classes to get you started are the LED Class, Electronics Class, and Robotics Class. With those resources and your imagination, we know you’ll create something spectacular!

The Green Electronics Contest 2016 is closed.
