October is open-source month. What better way to celebrate it than by using open-source hardware and software to celebrate all of the amazing open-source hardware that's been certified by OSHWA over the last few years!

In this project, you'll program an Adafruit MagTag to display one project from OSHWA every hour. You'll display the title of the project, the description, and a QR code you can easily scan to look at the full project.
