Discord is officially 4 years old! We’ve grown considerably since our last birthday and we wouldn’t be here without our amazing community who have supported us every step of the way. Thank you!
Last year, we were blown away by all the amazing stories you shared with us. This year, we wanna hear about your best Discord moment, whether it’s a ridiculous conversation or a touching exchange. Share it on Twitter using the hashtag #DiscordMoments. We’ll give away 50 exclusive Discord Birthday Shirts to Discord Partners who share their best or most unique moment on Discord.
Our story is not really a story since there are so many connections and moments, made daily, on the Adafruit Discord server with over 12,000 humans – we do have a quote from a community member that sums it up nicely.
“It’s a 24/7/365 hackerspace you can bring your granddaughter to.”
Thanks Discord for making a cool place where our community can thrive together.

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.
