Worldwide Arduino Contest for Students
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
There’s a worldwide Arduino Contest for students. Particularly, the Solid-State Circuits Society runs it. Specifically, students in high school or college can join to find out more about electronics. In fact, the contest wants students to make a project that aids people with disabilities. Participants can work solo or in teams of up to three.
The contest gives help, learning materials, and a reason to try. You might even get a free set of parts to begin (if they are still available). Also, you don’t need to know anything beforehand. Additionally, short lessons and a guide are there to support people to learn about Arduino.
To participate, teams must make a three-minute video about their project. Specifically, the video should show the team members, their school, and their country. It should also show how the project works. Finally, the video needs to talk about a problem the team had and how they fixed it. In fact, projects that directly assist a community member in the video are even eligible for a bonus point. The deadline for video submissions is August 1, 2025.
The contest offers the chance to win huge cash prizes and worldwide recognition. This contest helps students worldwide learn electronics, improve their problem-solving skills, and possibly benefit their communities.

Extended Bio
Amit Singh is a computer networks expert and tech writer at ENTECH Magazine, where he bridges enterprise-grade infrastructure engineering with accessible technology education.
He serves as a technology expert at Cisco Systems, designing and implementing advanced internet and computer networking solutions for major corporations and internet service providers worldwide. His daily work involves developing high-speed networks and integrating robust security protocols to enable reliable, secure internet services at scale. He holds a Master of Science in Computer Networks from North Carolina State University and a degree in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, credentials that underpin his deep fluency in both the hardware and software layers of modern connectivity.
Amit’s technical focus sits at the intersection of performance and protection. He is particularly interested in advancements like software-defined networking (SDN) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), areas that are reshaping how organizations architect their digital perimeters. His accomplishments include achieving the prestigious triple CCIE certification in Routing and Switching, Security, and Service Providers — a distinction held by only a fraction of networking professionals globally. He is also a Senior Member of IEEE and a Member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), and he actively participates in industry initiatives through the Cloud Security Alliance.
His commitment to knowledge-sharing extends well beyond the data center. Amit runs the SDN Tech Forum on YouTube, writes articles demystifying networking technology, and has taken the stage as a speaker at prestigious industry conferences including CiscoLive USA and Australia. He also volunteers for IEEE STEM initiatives and has served as a Session Chair and Judge at various conferences and hackathons, reflecting a dedication to both technical excellence and community engagement.
His primary beats include:
- Computer Networking & Internet Architecture: High-speed network design, ISP infrastructure, routing and switching technologies, and the foundational systems that power global connectivity.
- Network Security & Zero Trust: Security protocol integration, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) architectures, cloud security frameworks, and enterprise threat mitigation strategies.
- Software-Defined Networking (SDN): SDN implementations, programmable networks, and the evolution of software-driven infrastructure for modern data centers and corporate environments.
- Technology Communication & STEM Advocacy: YouTube education through the SDN Tech Forum, technical writing, conference speaking, IEEE STEM volunteering, and mentorship at industry hackathons.
Amit believes that the most secure network is one that its operators truly understand. Through his writing, speaking, and teaching, he works to ensure that complex networking concepts become accessible to the engineers, students, and decision-makers who depend on them.
