As many organizations prepare for Giving Tuesday, Calculated Genius Inc. the Chicago-based STEM nonprofit founded by President and Founder of KDM Engineering Kimberly Moore, has planned a Giving Tuesday Season Fundraiser that will extend from Tuesday, November 24 through Tuesday, December 8. The longer timeframe provides more opportunities for donors to support Calculated Genius’ work with underrepresented youth in engineering.
“KDM has been a proud financial supporter of Calculated Genius since the organization’s inception, and we are excited to help promote their Giving Tuesday Season Fundraiser,” said Kimberly Moore, President and Founder of KDM Engineering. “Typically, KDM and Calculated Genius partner in hosting an annual fundraising gala for the holidays, but due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, we have had to get creative and find other ways to raise money.”
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.
