If you need a couture LEGO design, then Nathan Sawaya is the person you see. The brick master designed an Ahsoka Tano dress for Ashley Eckstein last summer, and he just made a one-of-a-kind jacket for DC President Diane Nelson. Sawaya made an elegant LEGO jacket for Nelson to wear to the premiere of The Lego Batman Movie. It is an ideal place for such a creative design.
The jacket features Batman, of course, and his arch nemesis the Joker on the front and the Bat-symbol on the back. This impressive jacket includes over 10,000 LEGO pieces (mostly two by two plates) and took Sawaya 100 hours to craft. You can view additional photos of the jacket at DC Comics.
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 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
