SOLO – as in Solo Cups – Millennium Falcon #starwars #hansolo
There’s a fair bit of tongue-in-cheek going on in this SOLO-cup build of the Millennium Falcon – complete with holders for red cups simulating the engine deck’s heat exhaust vents – but it’s also a proof of concept that you really can make just about anything from just about anything else! (If the time-code doesn’t work on your device skip to 7:11 for the Falcon segment.)
In this installment of The Star Wars Show, the president of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige discusses his love for the Star Wars galaxy, artists craft a Millennium Falcon out of red SOLO cups (in a paid partnership with SOLO Cup) and a life-size replica prepares to launch, we check out new character posters for Solo: A Star Wars Story, and more!
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.
