There are 359 of us in here now. A month ago there were none!! 🤯 I wanted to mark that with something better than a giveaway. Handing a bit of kit to a name I’ve ‘picked out of a hat’ seems lazy. So here's what we're doing instead. TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO BUILD AND I’LL PAY FOR IT 💰 Seriously, I'm putting in £250 of my own cash to sponsor our winners’ builds - covering the tools, hardware, and accessories they need to turn their idea into reality. WHAT QUALIFIES It doesn’t matter if it’s a personal project, a work problem, or a daft desk gadget. If it's a physical thing you want to exist and you'd build it with AI writing the code, it counts. One rule on scope: it has to be a single build. Not "make my whole house smart" with six blind controllers, a sprinkler system, and a room full of lights. One idea, one device, one thing that works at the end. WHAT YOU WIN - I buy the hardware and get it sent to you (I’ll order ‘locally’ within your country of residence, to ensure things arrive quickly) - We get on a Zoom and build it together WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO DO - Post your progress in this group as you go. The wins and the bits where it falls apart. We’re all gonna want to see it. - Let me use your photos and clips on Instagram. - Actually build the thing. The kit turns up, the build happens, and you don’t disappear! 🫠 🚨 HOW TO ENTER 🚨 Start your own post in this new community category (Sponsored build competition). Not a reply on this one - your own post, so everybody can see it and back it later. You entry *must* include: 1. What you want to build, and what it's for 2. Why you want it to exist 3. What hardware you reckon you need (rough is fine, I'll help you work it out) 4. Roughly what that costs 5. Where you're at: never touched hardware / messed about a bit / fairly comfortable That last one matters. I'm not just picking the fanciest idea, I want a spread across people who are starting from nothing and people who are already going. If you don't know what hardware you need, enter anyway and put "no idea" for 3 and 4. That is what the clinic below is for.
