Scott Kelly to Talk Infinite Wonder at AMNH November 5!
Hopefully these tickets won’t be sold out by the time I get home! So excited for this Frontiers Lecture:
Astronaut and best-selling author Scott Kelly returns to the Museum for a special showcase of his latest book, Infinite Wonder. This collection of photographs of Earth, taken from Commander Kelly’s unique perspective 250 miles above the planet’s surface, provides both an artistic appreciation of our planet and a passionate argument for conservation. Kelly will be joined by John Logsdon, author of The Penguin Book of Outer Space Exploration, on stage.
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, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, 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.
