The crowds thinned out slightly on the final day of Dragon Con. The host hotels are quieter, there’s more room to move and breathe, and several cosplayers take the day off or switch into more comfortable costumes – like dressing as Lois Lane, for example. Here are some outfits I spotted on the last day of Dragon Con and a few others from over the entire weekend:
Steampunk Buddy Christ
Chief Master Sergeant Walter Harriman, a.k.a. Chevron Guy
Prisoner from the Kyln – note the prosthetic leg
Minion
Agent Peggy Carter
Belle and Adam, a.k.a. Beauty and the Beast
GI Joe group
Moiraine Damodred
Iron Patriot and a zombie pirate princess
Zombie Leeloo
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.
