Dear adafruit, im not quite sure where to begin. (5 min
later) you have been a go to company for more than just products and ideas,
you and your staff have also taken time out to help me with tons of my
projects as well! I would literally send a plethora of questions to your
staff and they were willing to help me in any way they could. When your 15,
alot of people dont take you seriously. Adafruit on the other hand treats me
like a person and a maker. Not like a kid with some insane project idea and
because of that i am able to pull off most of my insane projects! Most of my
friends now call me a “mad scientist”, there darn right too and i am more
than happy to accept that title. I guess what i am trying to say is… Thank
you for helping me with all my crazy ideas and also having the products i
need! – Ethan
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.
