Debate: Who Was The Best Star Trek Engineer? #SciFiSunday
The folks over at Popular Science take sides on a question that has long divided trekkies.
Sarah: I’m going to say my favorite engineer, as a person, is O’Brien because you just get to know him so much better in DS9. You see his family life, his relationship with his wife and his daughter. But I think Geordi is the best engineer because he’s doing like crazy physics and weird experiments and inventing new things.
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.
