GoldieBlox celebrates fearless women with their #BeLikeHer campaign @Goldieblox
GoldiBlox has a new campaign honoring fearless women role models. Check out more info on their blog and YouTube.
#BeLikeHer is all about honoring the women and girls who push us all forward. We all have role models in life, now is our chance to shout out a handful who have made us especially proud. Yes, we’re talking about you, Serena Williams, Princess Leia, Simone Biles, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy! We’re also talking about Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, Dorothy Vaughan and Taraji Henson, Janelle Monae, and Octavia Spencer!! Of course we’re also talking about our moms, sisters, teachers, aunts, grandmothers and every woman who inspires us every day to be like her!!!
Who’s your role model? Let everyone know. Tag and share a post telling us who inspires you, using #BeLikeHer. We just might feature you on our website 🙂
Adafruit has had paid day off for voting for our team for years, if you need help getting that going for your organization, let us know – we can share how and why we did this as well as the good results. Here are some resources for voting by mail, voting in person, and some NY resources for our NY based teams as well. If there are additional resources to add, please let us know – adafruit.com/vote
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.
