Mothership HackerMoms http://mothership.hackermoms.org gives moms the time and space to explore DIY art/design, craft, tech, business and all manners of creative expression — with childcare on site. We are artists, makers, designers, writers, scientists, programers, educators, as well as mothers. Our non-profit hackerspace is located in Berkeley, CA. We are the first women’s hackerspace – ever… and we don’t want to be the last.
We made a funny, moving Kickstarter video about creativity and motherhood that people (not just moms) seem to really like. We have just 7 days left to reach our “stretch” goal to fund a DIY workshop, equipment and tools, a mini maker program and community outreach support. Our end date is right around the corner, Nov 18th.
We have big love for your site and your mission. I hope you will support us by sharing/tweeting/fb our story. Thank you!

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.
