The name Deathwing the Destroyer makes an impression. The character’s design from World of Warcraft is visually striking, too. Jessica Nigri dressed as Deathwing for BlizzCon and did an incredible job crafting the costume. It has layers of armor and has several horns and extensions that had to make figuring out the balance for the costume tricky. She used foam to build the suit of armor, and it involved a ton of time cutting, assembling, and smoothing. You can see how the costume comes together in the above video.
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.
