Sign up for our ESP32 Design Contest and get your creative juices flowing in 2018! The competition is open to anyone in the international maker community, aged 18 or older.  Up to a thousand participants will be offered an ESP32-PICO-KIT V4 for free, provided they submit  a carefully-planned project proposal by 24:00 hrs CET, on January 31st, 2018. Although there is a focus on Espressif’s new ESP32-PICO-KIT, any ESP32-based hardware platform can be used in the competing projects. 

ESP32 is the most integrated Wi-Fi & Dual-Mode Bluetooth chip in the IoT industry. ESP32 can perform as a complete standalone system or as a slave device to a host microcontroller, reducing communication stack overhead on the main application processor. Our rich series of ESP32-based modules and developments boards are bound to inspire you to build any low-power and high-performing IoT solution.
