How does this work?

What do I do?

  • Build something with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W
  • Design, document, and publish it
  • Create renders and details
  • Open source it on GitHub;
  • and finally get the money to make it real!

How much time?

You get 14 days to work on your project.
Stay consistent and use your time well.

Voting?

After the 14 days are up, we'll open up voting to the public!
The top prizes from voting will receive extra prizes in addition!

Are there any submission guidelines?

  • You should log your work daily in a Journal.md file in your repository!
  • Commit frequently to your repository! This helps us filter fraud :)
  • Make it polished and high quality, go the extra mile
  • Make thorough journals, and attach images!
  • Don't copy tutorials, try to branch off from existing projects! Taking inspiration is okay, and encouraged!

Budget

  • Start with a base budget of $30
  • Work on your project for at least one hour a day
  • For every day you work at least one hour, earn $5 towards your budget!
  • Earn up to $100 in total!
  • The Pi Zero 2W and any and all 3D printed parts are on us!

Do I have to journal?

Journalling is not necessary, you may also use Lapse, our own timelapse videojournal tool! Check it out here.

What if I have questions?

Join the Slack and ask in #zeroday!
You can also DM me (@nimit) on Slack for any questions related to the event!

What if I need help?

Join the Slack and ask around in #electronics and #zeroday!
We will also run lock-in calls where you can share your progress and ask for advice!

What are the extra prizes?

If you ship a complete build within 4 weeks of receiving your grant, you get to choose between one of the many extra prizes! More details to be confirmed.
Winners of the jam will also receive a special prize such as a Bambu Labs A1 Mini or a Rasperry Pi 5!
