Street Sharks Ripster Costume Is Nearly Ready for MegaCon
Back in January, we showcased Bryan Doell, a.k.a. BMP Props and Costumes, and his in-progress Street Sharks Ripster costume. He’s building the ensemble for MegaCon, happening later this month in Florida. He’s made forward steps with the build in the last two months, and now it’s about 75 percent done. If you jump back to the previous post, it’s neat to see how far the shark torso has come.
Keep up with BMP Props and Costumes’ work on Facebook.
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.
