We’re Celebrating our Adafruit Team this #LaborDay – Kelly from Community, Support, and Publishing
Kelly is on our Community, Support, and Publishing team – you’ve probably seen her posts on the blog or emailed with her for customer support!
I’ve been on the Community, Support, and Publishing Team for nearly two years and couldn’t be happier to be a part of Adafruit.
My role here at Adafruit is to assist customers with their orders, contribute to the Adafruit Blog and Learn System, and promote Adafruit and our Community on Social Media. Watching our Community grow over the last two years has been incredibly awesome! It feels good to be a part of something so dynamic.
My favorite part about working at Adafruit, specifically on my team, is the positive attitude everyone has here. I think in some work environments the phrase Thank You is often underused or undervalued. That’s never the case at Adafruit. Knowing people value your work and your contribution to the team and company as a whole, for me, goes a long way.
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.
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.
