Challenge

Ever looked at your pet and thought, "You deserve something awesome"? Well, now’s your chance to fix that! Design a tech-powered gadget for your furry (or non-furry) friend using Arduino and 3D printing. Think automated playmates, high-tech trackers, smart aquariums, or remote-controlled feeders. Whether it’s a self-fetching ball launcher, a next-level scratching post, or a fish tank that runs itself—you know what your pet needs.

Never used Arduino before? No worries! Arduino is a small, programmable board that can control lights, motors, or sensors, and it’s the perfect way to add some tech magic to your project.
