Ask an Engineer – May 1st 10pm ET – LIVE FROM CAMBRIDGE, MA

Pt 2868

We will be broadcasting live from Microsoft NERD, Cambridge, MA during O’Reilly’s “Foo Camp East”. We’re not sure exactly how it will go since it’s a mobile broadcast, but we’re going to give it a go. We’ll have a special guest(s) – they “may” include… Amanda “w0z” Wozniack, Becky Stern, Leah Buechley and others.

Chat details!

  • Visit our new “chat” section on Adafruit at 10pm ET, Saturday nights
  • Or visit our Ustream page
  • For old schoolers, you can use IRC, you’ll need a Ustream log/pass, check out the Ustream IRC how-tos here and here
  • We are #adafruit-industries6796 on IRC server chat1.ustream.tv
  • There will be a trivia question at the end of the night as always!

If things break, or there isn’t a show – chat amongst yourself in the chat 🙂

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.

    This will be a good one – or as I like to say: It’s on like donkey kong.
