Legendary has ambitious plans for Dune. Since green-lighting a new feature adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel, the company has announced plans for video games, “digital content packages,” and comic books, and now it is announcing the first confirmed spinoff series. Dune: The Sisterhood is a go and will live on WarnerMedia’s forthcoming streaming service. The feature film’s director, Denis Villeneuve, will helm the pilot with a script from Jon Spaihts, and it will focus on the women of the Bene Gesserit. (The most recognizable member of the collective is the Reverend Mother Mohiam, who will be played by Charlotte Rampling in the new film.)
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.
