Coming soon glow-in-the-dark “Radiation” badge. You learned about radiation and radioactivity! Adafruit offers a fun and exciting “badges” of achievement for electronics, science and engineering. We believe everyone should be able to be rewarded for learning a useful skill, a badge is just one of the many ways to show and share. This is the “Radioactivity and Radiation” badge for use at classrooms, workshops, Maker Faires, Hackerspaces, TechShops and around the world to reward beginners on their skill building journey! This special badge is white in the day time and glows green in the dark.
Should be in stock in a week or so! You can check out all the badges here and here.

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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
Note that this can’t be used as a proper warning sign as produced in black/white – ANSI regulation (I think) says that the trefoil should be either magenta or black on a yellow background.
Just for clarity… this is an “expose to light then it glows” type of thing? No tritium or anything clever in there?
I like the badge, but I don’t want to set off any monitors or alarms at the workspace…

@hexmonkey, this iron-on skill badge is not meant to be used an “official” radiation sign 🙂
do you think we need an specific official note about this? if so, please assist us with the text and we’ll add it.
thanks!
