Build a project that bridges software with the physical world in a tangible, interactive, or surprising way. Teams could build custom robotics, hack smart home devices, create wearable tech, or connect physical sensors and controllers to AI models to react to the environment around them.

Physical Component: Must feature custom hardware, microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32), sensor arrays, or physical actuators.

Software-to-Hardware Bridge: Seamless integration between digital logic/models and physical hardware outputs or inputs.

Tangible Impact or Utility: Focus on physical interaction, hands-on fun, or novel real-world sensory feedback.
