As we continue to optimize our Distributor program (including Hackerspaces & Makerspace) which gets all the top-selling and latest Adafruit products to your customers, workshops, and events, there are updates in 2018 which are ahead, and we’re sharing the details here for all.
We’re lowering prices on many of our products! With predictive inventory, quantity purchasing of parts, and efficiencies in our production we can make more high-quality products at even more affordable prices for more people.
What does that mean for Distributors? Discounts on about 1/3rd of our products will go from 40% to 30% in 2018, plenty of time to order now before the holidays.
We will continually highlight our Distributors from posts to videos, to social media coverage on Adafruit online properties. The Adafruit Distributors carry our products and mission the extra mile, whether it be the maker in Alaska or the educator in Lagos. These updates to the Distributor program will put more emphasis on our partnerships, and ensure quality and support for everyone in the Adafruit community, wherever they may purchase our products.
Thank you so much for helping Adafruit get to places and people around the world, Distributors, Hackerspaces & Makerspaces!

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.
