Tangeez are a set of interactive light blocks that change color depending on how you stack them. You can get 7 different colors out of one block. They’re about the size of a cupcake and fit in the palm of your hand. They change color as you stack and rearrange them. There’s lots of fun to be had with Tangeez as you can see form the pictures here!
Emily & Mustafa were part of the Adafruit Show & Tell a few weeks ago where they showed off how Tangeez work. They are also part of the New York’s Next Top Makers Program and Adafruit was a mentor. You may have gotten to play with Tangeez if you were at Maker Faire here in NY!
Please check out this project and consider supporting it! There are only 4 days left of their campaign and they’re very close!
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.
