Welcome to IEEEDuino, the IEEE Region 8 Student Hardware Contest!
This is an interactive student contest focused on hardware where you compete for top prizes!

What is IEEEDuino
IEEEDuino is a student-focused hardware contest to inspire IEEE student and graduate student members in Region 8 to design, build, program, and demonstrate a working hardware prototype within a limited timeframe. The competition promotes creativity, engineering skills, and problem-solving abilities in embedded systems, electronics, and hardware-software integration.

How does the contest work?
IEEE student members are invited to enter the contest, either alone or in teams of up to three. During the summer, your team will need to submit your plan, design, and background to us, which will be examined carefully.

From the submitted ideas, 10 submissions will be selected to participate in the build phase. If you are selected, you can be reimbursed by Region 8 for your hardware development materials to develop your idea.

You can build your design at home or may use your university labs to extend the hardware using passive and active components on a breadboard. When you’re finished, send us a short video of the system and an explanation of how it works. A high-resolution photograph of the entry and a copy of the code will also be required for judging.

Awesome Prizes!
You can win amazing prizes for submitting the best idea to IEEEDuino. $400 USD will be given to the best submission, with $250 and $100 for the second and third place. All selected participants will also get to keep their Arduino Nano development kit and will receive a certificate of participation.
