Alexis Joy Hagestad talks to Feature Shoot about her work in progress In the Amber Season which follows her work as a wildland firefighter:
“To be a wildland firefighter, you have to be trained, and there are different levels of training depending on your status as a wildland firefighter,” she explains. “Like other career paths, you can take more classes and become more experienced in the field. The best experiences happen from just being out on the fire line and learning from people who have come before you and have more experience.”
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.
