Ladyada’s new coloring book – “3 is for 31337” #AprilFools
Building on the success of Ladyada’s “E is for Electronics” and “R is for Robots” coloring books, we round out the trilogy with our latest, “3 is for 31337,” giving kids of all ages an inside track to hacker jargon and culture.
The 26 pages covering “A” through “Z” are just the start: G for Gibson, K for K-rad and so forth. But “3 is for 31337” is packed with additional pages for several digits — 0 for d00d, 8 for l8r — plus some punctuation symbols and a few classic CP437 and PETSCII characters for good measure. ♠!
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.
