From all of us on the organizing team (and the hackers!) — thank you so much for working with us and giving an amazing fireside chat at HackMIT! We’re still tying up all the loose ends of the event, so apologies for this long overdue note!
Phillip — thank you for being such a pleasure to work with throughout the summer! It was great knowing that you were always accessible and willing to help 🙂
Limor — it was amazing hearing you speak. The tour of the factory (almost like we were right there in person!) was such a singular experience, and your Q&As about open-source hardware, education, and all the stories from Adafruit history were so inspiring. I’ll always remember that question about how to deal with being a woman in tech — and your perfect “Ah, you just kick their ass!” ?
We have quite a few people on team who were beyond excited to have you with us at the event this year, and we all couldn’t be happier 🙂
Hope you all and Adafruit have a great year ahead, and let us know if you’re ever back in town!

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 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
