The three-episode series, which is supported by Microchip and Molex, considers the future of electronics design. Specifically, explores how new tools, open communities and STEM education will reshape the design process.
For example, the impact of rapid prototyping platforms and maker ecosystems, this series highlights. Basically, how engineers can turn ideas into working hardware faster.

The first episode (see below) is “A community of innovators: Lessons from Supercon”. It looks at the collaboration and rapid prototyping culture on display at Supercon 2025. Particularly, highlighting how community-driven innovation can accelerate experimentation and learning.
The second episode – “Tools of the trade: The modern hardware toolkit” – features industry experts discussing hardware platforms, development boards, components and workflows that engineers use to work efficiently.
Finally, the last episode (not yet released) is “The path forward: STEM and the future of engineering”. This focuses on STEM programmes, makerspaces and academic initiatives shaping tomorrow’s engineers.
“Engineering Unlocked celebrates the incredible momentum we’re seeing across the engineering community,” said David Sandys, senior director of technical enablement & engagement for DigiKey.
“From makers and students to professional designers, the pace of innovation has never been faster. And we’re proud to help equip and empower those turning bold ideas into real-world solutions.”
