Get started by watching these videos:
Or learn how the challenge works:
Submit
a 1-3-page paper that outlines an embedded project that catches the eye
and brings a smile to your face. Perhaps it is a game you designed for
an embedded device. Perhaps it is a magic button that turns your house
into a disco, or an interactive toy for children. As long as
it catches people’s attention and brings a smile to their
faces, you are on the right track. Be creative, have fun but remember
this is an embedded challenge!
