The Theme You Picked: Making Time
Project14 \| Making Time: Anything that Uses or Alters Time such as Clocks, Timers, Egg Timers, and More!

The theme this month is Making Time and it is inspired by a suggestion from dwinhold , as well as, a suggestion from Workshopshed . You can do clock making projects such as you would do with a microcontroller, LED, or whatever you come up with. Or, you could do any project that uses or alters time such as a project involving egg timers, photographic timers, clocks, calendars, and delay lines. This competition is a good opportunity to think about time, and the various ways we use technology we use to not only mark, but help manipulate time. For example, you could do anything from a time delay for photography, an egg timer for the kitchen, to a clock with intelligence such as a smart alarm project with modern features such as voice assistance, streaming music, video, camera, an SBC, weather alerts, news alerts, moon phases, appointments from your phone, oled or LED screen. Another idea, would be to create a smart wristwatch.
