Congrats to @boldport On Their Recent Milestone of 500 Members! #BoldportClub
Congrats to the Boldport team for recently achieving the milestone of 500 active club members who receive monthly installments of their really unique electronic kits (Ananas above – the pineapple – being a visual favorite of mine). And kudos for publishing results of their recent survey which gives a snapshot of their members and possibly how others can build membership clubs like they did.
Boldport Club now has over 500 active members! That’s 500 people the world over receiving the soldering projects that we design and manufacture every month in London. It’s certainly reason to celebrate and reflect. We’ve compiled some stats to evaluate what’s been going on for the past two years and to understand the make-up of our wonderful community. We’ve gathered data from our subscriber and shipping records and from a questionnaire that was completed by nearly 200 people.
We strive to create a diverse community. We’d like to have people from different personal and professional backgrounds, varied levels of experience with electronics, and different life experiences. This is how we can learn from and inspire each other. This diversity creates a healthy environment for making the Club fun, creative, and stimulating. In our questionnaire we learned a bit more about our members backgrounds.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
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!
