When I started at Adafruit in 2012, I thought of it as a dream job, and boy howdy did it deliver! If you ask me, we built some pretty crazy-rad things together. It has been an absolute pleasure working with the Adafruit team over the last four years and I will forever consider my time here a career highlight. I’m very proud of the work we’ve accomplished together, but now it’s time for me to make a change. February 2016 will be my last month as Adafruit’s Director of Wearable Electronics.
Let’s reminisce together about some Adafruit wearable electronics stats:
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.

While it makes me sad to see you leave Adafruit, I certainly wish you the best in whatever you choose to do from here. You have certainly been an inspiration to myself and countless others, and I cannot wait to see what your future holds. Stay awesome!
At the first NY Maker Faire, I had just missed your talk on the TV-B-Gone hoodie. You patiently talked through the gist of your talk in 98+ degree heat. I always remember your positive attitude and kind demeanor. You’ve achieved awesome things at Adafruit. Best of luck to you in the future!
I wish you luck in the future, you’ve done and shown off amazing work during your time at adafruit. I know you’ll do great in the next chapters! Good luck for the future.
Becky,
Good luck with your future work – I’m sure it will be awesome! I think I was one of the last “Project Workshops” in your weekly show and your help was outstanding. In fact, that project is proceeding nicely and I’ll make sure I get you updates 🙂
Good luck with your new adventure Becky, will be keeping an eye out for your projects. 🙂
