Arduino Days Are Here Again

It’s that time of year again! Hot on the heels of Pi day comes Arduino Days — that’s plural, with an s this year — which are becoming another great March tradition. Unlike last year’s event, which was a hybrid of live and virtual, this year’s will be online-only. And instead of a single day, it will now span three: Thursday, March 21st will focus on the Pro line, while Friday targets education, and Saturday embraces the maker movement that Arduino is best known for its role in helping to foster.

What can we expect from this year’s event? Lots of cool presentations of projects and ideas from the community, plus some exciting product announcements of course (we’ve had a sneak peek and you’re going to want to make sure you don’t miss these!). How can you participate? Head to the Arduino Days website for more info, plus get hyped now with our Arduino Day Project Premium, backlog of Arduino stories and Arduino projects, as well as the Maker Shed’s plethora of Arduino books and Arduino kits!

David bought his first Arduino in 2007 as part of a Roomba hacking project. Since then, he has been obsessed with writing code that you can touch. David fell in love with the original Pebble smartwatch, and even more so with its successor, which allowed him to combine the beloved wearable with his passion for hardware hacking via its smartstrap functionality. Unable to part with his smartwatch sweetheart, David wrote a love letter to the Pebble community, which blossomed into Rebble, the service that keeps Pebbles ticking today, despite the company's demise in 2016. When he's not hacking on wearables, David can probably be found building a companion bot, experimenting with machine learning, growing his ever-increasing collection of dev boards, or hacking on DOS-based palmtops from the 90s.
