Hip Hop Garden is an innovative, alternative education model using hip hop to educate and empower young people to live sustainably and grow their communities.
Workshops
Our Hip Hop Garden model can be tailored to many subjects, and we regularly work with schools, youth groups and adults to use hip hop culture as a tool to increase social cohesion and raise awareness of social issues. Examples include ‘Hip Hop and Identity’, ‘Hip Hop and Climate Change’ and our popular ‘Hip Hop Garden Taster’. Find out more here.
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.
