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.

So, hacker space gone commercial?
Yes hackerspaces gone commercial, but also *workshops* done right.
TechShops are more like a gym than a hackerspace. My experience with hackerspaces has been they are more about the politics of running the space and less about helping people build things.
TS also has equipment I have never seen at any other hackerspace I have visited.
Since the equipment and the work areas at TS are maintained by a dedicated staff, equipment is almost always available and there is always someone that can help.
The members at my TS are also easier to interact with compared to the local hackerspace. I can talk about my project without them explaining why their idea is better before I ever explained mine. Or my other favorite, how how linux would do everything better even though my project is entirely mechanical.
