Happy Chinese/Lunar New Year 2022: Celebrating the Year of the Water Tiger
We bid farewell to the year of the Ox and welcome in the year of the tiger. Specifically this is a Water Tiger year. The Water Tiger only comes around every 60 years, so enjoy!
Festivities are held now through the 15th (and beyond) of February culminating in the Lantern Festival. This year there are sure to be a mix of in-person and virtual events to attend. For New Yorker’s you can check out the New York Chinese Cultural Center
And if you just google Chinese New Year 2022 you get a pretty fun show and ample resources!
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.
