DigiKey is Going Retro with Hackaday!

Do you like mixing the old with the new? Do you take vintage electronics and bring them back to life with a modern spin? If this sounds like something right up your alley, have we got a contest for you!

We’ve partnered with Hackaday for the Reinvented Retro Contest, and we want you to come along for the ride. How do you do that, you ask? Show us what you’ve made by marrying modern and retro-tech together.

Have you added Bluetooth and some IoT to a vintage radio? Does your old Atari now run on modern tech? Does your project have its same cool, retro style, yet its guts scream 2021?

We want to see your retro works of wonder, and we’re willing to throw some shopping sprees out to the top three projects. That’s right! You could win a $200 shopping spree in our warehouse - online, of course. But wait! That’s not all. Your project could also end up in our 2022 calendar. Exciting, right?

We can’t wait to see what you’ve got!

Head over to Hackaday for contest rules & details on how to enter.
