The dinosaur doesn’t have an official name yet. For now, it is simply being called The Titanosaur, an enigmatic member of a group of long-necked, herbivorous behemoths. This particular animal has been making headlines since the initial discovery of its bones in 2014, which hinted that the species would be a record-breaker.
While the scientific details of the find still await publication, one thing is for sure: The Titanosaur is the largest prehistoric creature ever put on display. From its squared-off snout to the tip of its tail, the dinosaur stretches 122 feet, so long that it has to peek its tiny head out of the exhibit hall to fit in the museum.
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.
