..we now have more goals and work than our four person team can reasonably do. We need to build and improve our frontend tools to give each of our users a satisfying experience. We need to reach out to more part distributors and manufacturers to ensure we have every useful part in our database. And we need to study our usage and analytics data to give us better insight into our product. These are hard and interesting problems and we’d work on them ourselves if time allowed – instead we are hoping to hire people who care as much about helping engineers as we do.

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.
