Meet the First Batch of 27 Winners to Get a Free Seeed Studio LoRaWAN Dev Kit: Time to Submit Your Ideas to Seeed’s “IoT Into the Wild Contest for Sustainable Planet 2022”

Dear Community,

As you know, Seeed has launched its open source innovation contest on Hackster.io, which is themed as “IoT Into the Wild Contest for Sustainable Planet 2022” on 8th of June, with a strong belief that open tech can lay an important foundation for achieving the UN‘s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), through filling the gap of seriously-lacking AIoT solutions that are applicable, scalable, plug-and-play, and easy-to-deploy at a global level. 

So far, we’ve received 45 free hardware applications, along with 200+ people registered as the Contest participants. In an effort to inspire a broader number of potential participants, as well as to facilitate the makers and innovators to start their projects early-on, we’ve selected 27 free hardware applications to send out Seeed Studio LoRaWAN Dev Kit next week! 🙂
