Finally! Doctor Who in LEGO form! Hurray! via themarysue
LEGO managed to nail David Tennant’s signature smirk in this Doctor Who set, created in response to an onslaught of interest from fans who submitted this concept to LEGO’s virtual suggestion box. The final designs, created by a Whovian named Andrew Clark, were also selected by vote. The set includes LEGO versions of David Tennant and Tom Baker’s portrayals of the Doctor, Billie Piper’s character Rose, K9 the robot dog, and a cast of baddies that includes Daleks, Cybermen and Weeping Angels.
8-6-2021 (August 6, 2021) is the Snakiest day of the year and it’s also this year’s CircuitPython Day! The day highlights all things CircuitPython and Python on Hardware. See you there!
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.
