ADAFRUIT WEEKLY EDITORIAL ROUND-UP

We’ve got so much happening here at Adafruit that it’s not always easy to keep up! Don’t fret, we’ve got you covered. Each week we’ll be posting a handy round-up of what we’ve been up to, ranging from learn guides to blog articles, videos, and more.

BLOG

Microsoft MakeCode, Cartoon Network and Adafruit team up to inspire a new generation of creators.

It’s estimated that in the next decade 77 percent of jobs will be in technology, while creativity is ranked among the top three skills the World Economic Forum predicts employers will be looking for in candidates. This presents today’s educators and parents with a unique challenge – and opportunity – to help prepare kids today for the digital future and inspire their creativity. And as Microsoft Innovative Educator Pip Cleaves reminds us, one of the most effective and fun ways to teach creativity in the classroom is with coding.

That’s why we’re excited to announce today that we’re joining Cartoon Network and Adafruit to create a set of projects and tutorials to inspire young people to code, create and construct. With fun, whimsical DIY creations such as an electronic crown, a glow-in-the-dark room sign or a paper cup lamp, students can use the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express micro-controller device, Microsoft’s MakeCode coding environment, and Cartoon Network’s most loved characters to learn the basics of coding and let their imagination go wild.

Adventure Time Coffee Cup Lamp with MakeCode @CartoonNetwork @MSMakeCode #MicrosoftEDU
In this project we’ll show you how to build a coffee cup lamp using an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express and Microsoft Makecode.

We’ll design our lamp out of a paper cup and use capacitive touch to change the colors of the LEDs!

Wearable Infinity Gauntlet #WearableWednesday

Another cool Infinity Guantlet for all your cosplay needs. This one is shared by MonsterMovieProps on Thingiverse:

Wearable Infinity Gauntlet from Avengers Infinity war.
Modelled in Fusion 360.
I designed the palm so you can make a fist, have better grip, and yes, click your fingers!

Hope you all enjoy! can’t wait to see what everyone can do with the files, I’m very happy with how mine turned out, and it got a lot of attention at mcm comic con!

If you like my files, drop me a like on my facebook page, plenty more files and builds on their way!

The thumb is still basic, I slightly adjusted Happymoon’s thumb, though I am planning on making a better thumb in the future.

The fingers are ready to print on their sides, as it makes for much stronger hinges, though will need more finishing work. if you want them standing up, let me know and I can’t supply them.

I did four Ghostbusters proton packs for
the whole family, Ecto Goggles and a PKE Meter, all powered by Adafruit
products. I also did the 3D Printed trap based on Sean Charlesworth’s design
that you had covered in the blog already, and which contains various
Adafruit products. I did some modifications to add NeoPixels, my favorite!
See links below. Regards from Martin and the Swiss Ghostbusters!

NEW GUIDE: Animatronic Medusa Headdress #electronichalloween

Your looks will turn them all to stone, and your snakes will writhe in delight and delicious decadence. The glow from your serpentine hair will only be eclipsed by the toothsome grin you wear as you fill your statue garden with wonders wrought from your deadly gaze.

The Crickit is so easy to use that it’s a great first foray into the world of animatronics and servos. Create your own animated costume just in time for Halloween.
