You may not know who we all are, but the ladies of Adafruit are a big part of what keeps the company running smoothly. There are some familiar faces among us (Limor! Becky! Risa Rose!) but there’s also Angel, Erin, and Rebecca who ship out many of your packages, as well as Jess and Kelly, who answer your support questions. Risa Rose, whose face you have probably seen in many of our tutorials, is also an expert photo retoucher and is the wearable electronics assistant too. Alicia gathers your packages and is an Arduino enthusiast and Leia (not pictured), who just started this October, puts your kits together. Roxanne keeps the books and Molly keeps everything in operations running smoothly (and keeps the FreshDirect order coming so we don’t starve). And of course you are all familiar with Lady Ada herself, Limor Fried, whose fearless leadership and incredible talent bring us here together every day!
This concludes Lady Ada Lovelace Day, the women in our posts today are a reminder that there are makers everywhere and of every kind. We want to take this day to appreciate all the women out there that are advancing themselves and others in STEM fields. Thanks to their dedication, the world is becoming a better place every day.
October 15th is Ada Lovelace Day! Today the world celebrates all of the accomplishments of women in science, art, design, technology, engineering, and math. Each year, Adafruit highlights a number of women who are pioneering their fields and inspiring women of all ages to make their voices heard. Today we will be sharing the stories of women that we think are modern day “Adas”. We will also be referencing women from history that have made impacts in science and math. Please promote and share #ALD13 with your friends and family so we can promote and share with all of the world wide web!
Today everything in the Adafruit store is 10% off, just use the code ALD13 on checkout! Today’s the perfect day to spark the imagination of a future “Ada” with a gift from the Adafruit store!

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!
