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!

Please watch the video above. His story is at around 1:13 into the video.. You can see how he lost his leg and hand – he and thousands of other people, he was starving in North Korea and he was trying to get coal off of a train, to sell for food, but he was hungry and he lost consciousness, and he slipped and the train ran over him, he lost his leg and hand. He is very very lucky to be alive. They did not have anesthetics.
He’s clearly a very smart guy because even missing his hand and leg, he managed to escape from North Korea.
His name now is Ji Seong Ho-
He would be a great candidate for a myoelectric prosthesis. he lives in South Korea now. I left my email, I could probably track him down.
There is a guy – Ji Seong Ho- could I nominate him to get help from this organization?
His testimony to the UN is at http://webtv.un.org/search/commission-of-inquiry-on-human-rights-in-the-dprk-seoul-public-hearing-day-3-am-22-august/2668611254001
