The challenge
How would you utilize SparkFun's RedBoard Artemis ATP, Qwiic components, and machine learning? We're looking for the next great group of projects to show how these three items can be incorporated into everyday life. Enter a project into one of four categories: Business, Home, Nature, and Wildcard.
Hardware Description
1. The SparkFun RedBoard Artemis ATP (or "All the Pins!") board breaks out absolutely every one of Artemis' 48 GPIO in a familiar Mega-like form factor. The board features the Artemis module, which allows for low-power machine learning and is compatible with TensorFlow. Additionally, the Artemis module is powered by the Apollo3 mircoprocessor.
Benefits:
- Modern USB-C connector
- Qwiic connector for I2C
- Compatible with SparkFun's Arduino core and easily programmed under Arduino IDE
- Exposed JTAG connector for more advanced users
- A lot of GPIO
- Digital MEMS microphone for always-on voice commands with TensorFlow and machine learning
- Convenient jumper to measure current consumption for low power testing
- 1MB flash and 384k RAM
- Runs at 48MHz, with 96MHz turbo mode
2. SparkFun's Qwiic Connect System allows for easy prototyping with no soldering! The system uses 4-pin JST connectors to quickly interface development boards with sensors, LCDs, relays and more. Check out the Qwiic Connect System for a full list of available components.
Free Hardware:
Choose between the two kits below in your application for free hardware! Both kits have the required RedBoard Artemis ATP and various Qwiic components to help you get your project up and running.

Prizes
Three winners (1st, 2nd, 3rd place) will be chosen from each of the four categories. Judges will pick the best, qualifying projects, based on the judging criteria outlined in the rules sections. Bonus points will be awarded to projects that benefit the common good. For example, projects that help emergency services, keep people safe while exploring nature, etc...
