Wear It Berlin is a new wearable electronics festival in Berlin! Check out the fabulous lineup of speakers including Adafruit wearables writer Leslie Birch!
Perhaps some of you noticed the work of Trafo Pop who were featured in the Adafruit Blog previously. These guys are now setting up the first festival for wearable electronics and arts in Berlin.
Following the motto “Make Your Dress Code”, Wear It, will take place October 11-12 in historic Berlin, Kreuzberg. They’ve invited leading experts and tech evangelists from the global wearables scene to lead interdisciplinary workshops, talks, discussions, performances and an exhibition. There will also be a flashmob and other unique activities. Check out their website www.wearit-berlin.com for more info!
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.
