We’ve touched on Colossalcon before. The convention takes place at a resort in Sandusky, Ohio, and that resort includes a water park. We shared Beat Down Boogie’s cosplay video from the gathering last year, and they’re back this summer with a new compliation from the splashy convention. Im sharing this cosplay video because it shows off creativity — so many cosplayers adapt complicated ensembles to fit the confines of a bathing suit — it highlights a different cosplay/convention environment than we’re used to seeing, and the footage showcases a fun and playful side of cosplay.

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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
