Photographer and creative consultant Ray Polanco Jr. recently collaborated with Converse on a new Chuck Taylor edition called Puro Platano in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month.
Hispanic Heritage Month began in 1968 as a week-long observance of the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Ronald Reagan expanded the week to a 30-day period in 1988, and today we celebrate the greats like Cesar Chavez, Sonia Sotomayor, and Jennifer Lopez every year from September 15 to October 15.
Make a robot friend with Adafruit’s CRICKIT – A Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It’s an add-on to our popular Circuit Playground Express, FEATHER and other platforms to make and program robots with CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. Start controlling motors, servos, solenoids. You also get signal pins, capacitive touch sensors, a NeoPixel driver and amplified speaker output. It complements & extends your boards so you can still use all the goodies on the microcontroller, now you have a robotics playground as well.
