You should be confident in one or more of the following areas: electronics, programming (C/Python), Arduino or Raspberry Pi, woodworking, sewing, or 3D printing, and a constant desire to learn more. We'll expect 4 articles per month from you: one big project, plus three standard articles (smaller projects, or less hands-on pieces).
