What sets New York apart from the rest of the world? New York attracts the most creative, ambitious, and hard-working people into one extremely diverse city. There’s an energy here that can’t be replicated anywhere else in the world. Mix that with a great nightlife, culture, and a city that never sleeps — you can see why the New York startup movement has been picking up momentum. I believe that NYC tech startups have a better eye for design, user experience, business models, and creating companies that solve real problems (and not launching more “me-too” companies). And the icing on the cake? The companies coming out of NYC right now are just… sexy. There’s no other way to explain it.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

I’m really happy to be here in nyc, and even more happy that so many businesses and people find a home here. Only in the past few years did I sort of “wake up” and find that I was born in such a hot bead of creativity.
