    I have to do a project in school with which I can maybe go on a competition with, but I don't know what to make. I have an Arduino mega 2560 starter kit but I don't have any god ideas on what to make with only those parts.
    Any suggestions or ideas?
    I'm really tired now so sorry for the(probably) weird sentences.

    Anything that I can make woth an Arduino(since that is the only thing I have) also since I'm still a beginner and entering the competition is not necessary I would like to make something that is not too simple(like a light sensor which turns on light or somethibg similar)and also something that isn't too complicated, also my biggest problem is that most god project I found need a 3d printer

    Make a machine that absorbs screams. Like a megaphone but in reverse where you scream into the cone and it nullifies your screams. Perfect rage release.

    All you would need is a sound-proofing structure that fits the mouth of an average human.

    You can make an elevator with cheap thing, I made one as a School proyect. Laptop, arduino and cheap things is all you need to make an elevator, you can made the program even with scratch if you don't know why use C.

    If you are confident with Arduino and are looking for a competition, I would suggest Robocup Junior as the competition of choice. I'm not to sure how much you are willing to invest into the project but a pair of custom soccer robots cost around $1400 (motors, sensors, materials, encoders, drivers, buck converters e.t.c). With this comp I've had the chance to compete nationally and internationally and It's really fun and a really good experience. :) Gl with what ever you decide to do!

    Oh sorry I didn't realise that you were a beginner :/ didn't read this post. Another easy project that you might have a go at is an alarm clock as someone suggested above, or a LED lamp?? Also the projects will vary on what type of competition you are looking to enter, so can you please just mention what comps you are looking into? >.<
