To celebrate the start of 2022, we have an exciting design contest to keep you busy during the cold winter months! Together with Electromaker, we bring you the ‘Make it Smart with Nordic Thingy:91’ cellular IoT design contest.

About the contest

Create a cellular IoT project for a Smart Home or Smart City application

For this contest we want you to demonstrate your idea using the Thingy:91 or the nRF9160 DK communicating via LTE-M and/or NB-IoT technology to send data from your application to the cloud. You can even incorporate Machine Learning (ML) on your edge device to process data and train your ML models with the help of Edge Impulse studio.

Top project idea submissions has already been awarded with the Nordic Thingy:91 & a cool Nordic t-shirt, but there is still time to get onboard and aim for one of the many prizes to be won! All participants have until May 11th to build their prototype and submit their documentation to Electromaker.io.

Use your Thingy:91 or nRF9160 DK or buy it here to get started with you project.
