The Black Lives Matter Education & Workshop Kit is an open-source design the Adafruit team published during the peaceful demonstrations for social justice in the summer of 2020 ([https://github.com/adafruit/BLM-Badge-PCB](https://github.com/adafruit/BLM-Badge-PCB)).

As a company and culture we came together to make our voices heard, share the pain we all had, the anger, and then work together for equality and justice in our communities ([https://www.adafruit.com/blacklivesmatter](https://www.adafruit.com/blacklivesmatter)). We listened to each other, we marched, we donated our time, resources, we distributed PPE at community events, we came together.

The kit is a snapshot in time, a time capsule of what we did together, and what we can build together going forward. The kit can be used for learn-to-code events remotely or in person when gatherings are safe post-COVID. We wanted to make something that would continue to emphasize the moment, is a movement.

The kits will never be for sale from Adafruit, they will be donated to learning-to-code organizations, social justice groups, and events.

This education and workshop kit features a Cortex M0+ processor that can run Arduino or CircuitPython.
