Arduino ☛ Join us for Arduino Day 2025: celebrating 20 years of community!
Over the past 20 years, we have evolved from a simple open-source hardware platform into a global community with literal millions of makers, educators, and innovators. Together, we’ve built countless projects (5,600+ just on Project Hub at the time of writing!), shared knowledge, and inspired one another to push the boundaries of technology.
As we celebrate this milestone, we want to honor our shared journey as a community. The technological world is accelerating and welcoming more people than ever before: we believe this makes it even more important for everyone to have access to innovation, and to contribute to a future filled with creativity and collaboration.
