Digi-Key Electronics has launched its annual Back2School prize drawing, which offers college students the opportunity to win prizes designed to spur them to use real engineering tools and resources.
All students with a university e-mail address are eligible to participate, and entry can be made in the local language. To learn more or to enter the Back2School prize drawing, visit the Digi-Key website. Entries opened on September 12 and will close on October 28, 2022. Winners will be announced shortly thereafter.
A total of 11 prizes will be up for grabs, and winners will be drawn at random. The first-prize winner will receive a LulzBot Mini 3D printer with filament; five second-prize winners will receive the Picade X HAT arcade game kit, DK Ruler and Innovation Handbook; and five third-prize winners will receive a Pokit meter, DK Ruler, 50 DK Solderful experimental sideburns, Innovation Handbook, Machinechat license and Molex crimping machine. The contents of the kits may vary depending on the geographic area of the participant, but the prize will be of equivalent value.
"We are excited to once again host our popular Back2School prize draw, which offers students components not only to apply to their lessons, but also help fuel their innovative streak," said YC Wang, Digi-Key 's global academic program director. "Digi-Key is proud to offer the tools they need to boost their imagination and engineering spirit, while providing encouragement and support to deepen their skills and cultivate their passion for engineering."
"Students are the next generation of innovators, and we at Digi-Key are committed to offering them all the support we can," said David Sandys, senior director of technical marketing at Digi-Key. "We want to provide students with valuable tools, products and resources that will encourage them to continue to learn and hone their skills to bring new ideas to life."
