It is easy to get sucked into the day-to-day tasks of a project. The holidays, when work slows, can be a moment to reflect more broadly on goals for ourselves and how we spend our time. Let’s take this moment to reflect on 2024 and look ahead to 2025 for CircuitPython. Just like past years (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024), we’d like folks in the CircuitPython community to share their thoughts about CircuitPython’s future. So, please post about #CircuitPython2025 to some public place on the internet by Tuesday January 14th, 2025.
We want to hear from you. When you post, please add #CircuitPython2025 and email [email protected] to let us know about your post so we can blog about it here.
The post can cover any topic related to CircuitPython. Here are some specific topics you could address:
These, of course, are just ideas to start from. Please us know about all ideas you have for CircuitPython.
We, as a community, can use these ideas to coordinate and collaborate to make CircuitPython even better in 2025. Let’s use these ideas to spark further discussion and brainstorming. Keep an eye on the blog here and join the discussion on the Adafruit Discord.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
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 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
