Planning on a Rockefeller Tree visit? Read through the rules for 2020 !
Maybe it’s a tradition, maybe you just need to stretch your legs. Whatever the reason for not staying home, Gothamist published the Rockefeller Tree Pandemic Rules designed to keep people safe.
…the lighting will be off-limits and only available through an NBC broadcast (which takes place from 8 to 10 p.m. on December 2nd). After that, new Christmas tree viewing procedures will be in place, which Rockefeller Center says has been approved by New York State and New York City. Expect “virtual queueing” (more details to come on that), a “five-minute tree-viewing limit,” and limits of four people to your tree-viewing group.
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.
