If you’re planning to work on an engineering senior design project, or capstone project, here’s your big break...

DigiKey's annual Back2School Prize Giveaway has just launched for the 2024 student cohort. The contest provides university and college students a chance to win DigiKey store credit, which they can use to purchase products for building and designing the next generation of solutions.

For students not familiar with DigiKey’s catalog, they do carry test equipment, power supplies, components of all sorts, tools, boards like Arduino, etc., so you can pick up a serious keeper or two for your workbench.

There will be nine prize giveaways, and winners will be randomly selected. One grand prize winner will be awarded $1,000 USD in DigiKey credit; three Tier 2 prize winners will receive $500 USD in DigiKey credit; and five Tier 3 prize winners will receive $250 USD in DigiKey credit.
