Astrida had this to say: “I’ll be talking about DIY Holiday crafts and NYC Resistor on NPR’s Science Friday radio broadcast today at 3pm, tune in!”
Avoid the long lines this season and hack your holiday gifts. Want to try making your own perfume or turning a scarf into a surround sound speaker system? Eric Wilhelm, founder of Instructables, and Astrida Valigorsky, a member of NYC Resistor, share their favorite holiday hacks and do-it-yourself geeky gifts.
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, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, 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 with Google Hangouts On-Air is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
