Wearables Hangout Video! Enter “Get Closer” Challenge by July 15th @element14
If you missed todays Google+ wearable talk with Becky Stern and want to know more about the “Get Closer” Wearables Challenge, or just more about FLORA, watch the video above!
Becky & friends showed off fun wearables projects and answered questions such as:
How many pixels can I chain in sequence with FLORA?
Is FLORA waterproof? How do you wash it?
Can I connect FLORA with GPS to the net so I can track an object in real time? and more…
Inspired to make your own wearables project? The “Get Closer” Wearables Challenge with Adafruit FLORA & element14 is for you! Recruitment is open– apply now for your chance to win a sweet pack of FLORA goodies to build the wearable electronics project of your dreams. Pitch your project idea via element14′s RoadTest page, and you could be selected to receive your supplies for free! Then during the course of the challenge, we’ll follow your progress in the element14 Arduino community. Enter now– the deadline is July 15th (Monday)!

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 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
