The Robocraze Arduino Project-A-Thon is an online Arduino project-building competition organized by Robocraze (in association with the Arduino community) where makers, students, and hobbyists showcase their Arduino-based innovations, demonstrate projects, and compete to win prizes. It’s designed to encourage creativity and technical skills using Arduino hardware and software.
The competition is open to participants across India who are interested in building projects with Arduino. It welcomes individuals of various backgrounds—from students to tech enthusiasts—provided they can submit an original Arduino project.
Participants typically submit their project by preparing a detailed project report (including overview, technical details, circuit diagrams, and code) along with a demonstration video, and upload these via the submission form link provided by Robocraze during the contest period.
While Robocraze doesn’t list specific scoring criteria publicly on the page, typical judging for such competitions includes:
Judges consider how well the project works, how original it is, and how clearly it’s explained in reports/videos. (General interpretation based on typical competition norms.)
The main theme is Arduino-based builds—projects must be constructed using Arduino boards and components. There aren’t fixed sub-categories listed, but projects can span domains like IoT, automation, robotics, or embedded systems as long as they are Arduino-powered.
Participants have the chance to win exclusive prizes. In 2025, the event offered a prize pool worth ₹1 Lakh, including Arduino and Robocraze merchandise and other rewards for top projects.
No formal registration fee is mentioned for the Project-A-Thon. Participants are only required to submit their projects if they meet the eligibility and submission standards for the event. (Registration appears free based on available info.)
Yes — both individuals and teams can participate. Typically, teams of up to 2 members are allowed, which makes collaboration possible while keeping it manageable.
For the 2025 edition of the Project-A-Thon, the submission deadline was April 20, 2025. If you’re looking at a future or current edition, check the announcement or official Robocraze page for the latest dates.
After submissions close, Robocraze reviews entries and announces winners on their official platforms (website and social media). Winners may also be notified by email or through contact details provided at submission. Finalists might get opportunities like special features or factory visits.
