This week, Janell Amely shared her gorgeous neopixel graduation cap project in our community. It looks great and we can’t think of a better way to stand out among the sea of black cap and gowns.
Michael sent in this adorable video of his toddlers playing with a Drawdio – looks like fun! He writes:
Successfully built them with my two 3-year olds (they helped find the parts, bend the leads, and solder the battery on – thank goodness for gloves!). Thought you might enjoy this 😉(read more)

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.
