Meet the Second Batch of 23 Free Hardware Winners: Last Chance 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 107 free hardware applications, along with 300+ 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 23 free hardware applications to send out Seeed Studio LoRaWAN Dev Kit. (PS. We’ve changed the packaging of this Kit and renamed the Kit as ‘SenseCAP K1100: The LoRaWAN Prototype Kit with Embedded AI’. However, the Kit components and functions remain the same. You’ll be getting the previous packaging-version.)

Now, meet the second batch of 23 winners who will get the free hardware kit, thanks to submitting their amazing sustainability project ideas (the order of # is according to the free hardware application submission date and time):
