Public Radio Broadcasting Day 2023 #PublicRadioBroadcastingDay
On January 13, 1910 the first ever public radio broadcast was sent out right here in NYC. Since then the form has grown, delivering the content we know and love over the airwaves. We celebrate every year on January 13!
On Public Radio Broadcasting Day, observed annually on January 13, the world celebrates a very special piece of technology — the radio. The day honors those who invented the radio and devised public broadcasting. It gave us a newfound appreciation for technology and its importance in our lives.
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.
