We wish we could see this in person! From Creative Boom:
It took a team of 12 professional LEGO builders approximately 12 weeks to construct the world’s largest caravan built entirely with over 215,000 plastic toy bricks, and it even set a new Guinness World Record.
Created especially for the Motorhome and Caravan Show at Birmingham’s NEC, the life-sized camper is based on the real ‘teardrop’ style caravan and includes everything from a sink with running water and electric lights to a bed, seating, a chess set and even pretend cooking facilities and fridge.
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.
