Featured Community Project from the Adafruit Blog
This week on the blog, we shared Kevin’s impressive Arduino Activity Board project here that he made for his 2yo niece!
I made an activity board for my 2 year old niece to play with. It’s a Arduino based lights and motor controlled board for keeping her attention. She can turn on and off a fan with an Adafruit breakbeam sensor. Control a near/far sensor, press a bunch of buttons, and plug in an Ethernet cable. (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.
