Pack the heat and pack your bags. FLIR, the leader in thermal technology, wants to send five lucky makers to the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It’s easy…

Submit a few paragraphs about how you’d utilize FLIR Lepton® and thermal technology in a build…

And be entered for a chance to win a FLIR Mentor, a Lepton Dev Kit, a trip to CES, and more!

YOUR MISSION:

Submit an idea telling FLIR how you’d use the new FLIR Lepton, longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal camera. Explain your concept in a few paragraphs, describing how and why you’d incorporate the use of thermal technology. This competition is open to all makers, builders, teams, and schools, and all it takes is an idea. Think automotive, smart building, IoT and robotics, but ultimately, think thermal. Hesitant because you know nothing about thermal technology? No problem. Brush up on the basics at Lepton.FLIR.com. After the first round of judging, all semi-finalists will receive a Lepton Development Kit and FLIR mentor to help build a prototype and bring your idea to life.

Five semi-finalists will win a trip to Las Vegas for CES 2017 to present their prototype at the FLIR booth for final judging. One grand prize winner will be selected to showcase their product at the WIRED Café @ CES and may be featured in the April issue of WIRED Magazine. Submit your ideas by November 13, 2016 to qualify.

So, what will you do with thermal technology?

I’M IN.
