element14 Community launches annual holiday competition
Competition encourages members to create electronics projects inspired by the holidays and what they mean to them
element14 Community has launched its annual holiday competition, inviting members to create electronics projects inspired by the holidays and what they mean to them. Participants can compete for prizes by submitting a write-up detailing how they built their project and demonstrating how it works.
This holiday season, element14 Community is highlighting its curated winter wishlists for engineers and students. The STEM-inspired gift guide includes practical tools, kits and resources to support learning and hands-on projects.
Examples from last year’s competition include an electronic elf, an interactive mini Zen garden and a musical, motion-activated wreath.
Andreea Teodorescu, Global Director of Product Marketing & element14 Community, stated, “To us, the holidays are about creativity and connection. This competition gives our members the chance to share what the season means to them while showcasing their engineering skills in fun and innovative ways.”
To enter, participants must submit their project write-up on the element14 Community by 11 January 2026. Projects can be gifts, decorations or party accessories, as long as they include electronic components and reflect what the holidays mean to them.
