We’re Celebrating our Adafruit Team this #LaborDay – Ian from the Receiving Department
Ian works on the receiving team here at Adafruit – they make sure all of the boxes of components, products, and other packages are delivered to the right places in our warehouse. Here’s what he has to say about working for Adafruit:
My favorite thing about working at Adafruit is that we figure everything out ourselves. If we have a problem with anything or want to improve anything we try to do it ourselves. It’s a DIY attitude that keeps me on my toes and always make me feel like I’m contributing in a real way. That an idea I had could be part of the working of Adafruit years from now feels good.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
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.
