MAKE’s 2nd International Maker Meetup: Raspberry Pi #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
Just a few hours ago, Limor and Phil joined Eben Upton, Matt Richardson, Shawn Wallace, and more at a MAKE Raspberry Pi hangout on air — check out the video above!
From the event announcement:
The event kicks off at 6pm PST with a live Google+ hangout on air with a great panel of guests that will include none other than Eben Upton of Raspberry Pi, the folks from Adafruit, Matt Richardson and Shawn Wallace (authors of Getting Started with Raspberry Pi, the editors of MAKE, and dozens of hackerspaces and meetups from around the world. If you’re into Raspberry Pi, the hangout and meetup are not to be missed. Tune in right here.
Adafruit has had paid day off for voting for our team for years, if you need help getting that going for your organization, let us know – we can share how and why we did this as well as the good results. Here are some resources for voting by mail, voting in person, and some NY resources for our NY based teams as well. If there are additional resources to add, please let us know – adafruit.com/vote
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.
Each Friday is PiDay here at Adafruit, be sure to check out our posts, tutorials and new Raspberry Pi related products. Have you tried the new “Adafruit Raspberry Pi Educational Linux Distro” ? It’s our tweaked distribution for teaching electronics using the Raspberry Pi. But wait, there’s more! Try our new Raspberry Pi WebIDE! The easiest way to learn programming on a Raspberry Pi.
