The Archimedean screw has been used to pump and lift water since antiquity. In this project the water screw is used to propel a boat, and can be programmed to go forward, reverse, turn right or left using MakeCode. This project uses easily available household materials and serves as a great introduction to block-based programming.

This NeoPixel ring adds a new light source to your photography subjects and can be quickly adapted to provide bright colors to your shots. This project demonstrates the use of Circuit Playground Express and MakeCode to control NeoPixels and involves minimal soldering.

This customizable piñata is outfitted with Circuit Playground Express, enabling it to react when hit and disgorge its contents after being struck a set number of times. Demonstrates how to use MakeCode, CircuitPython, and basic mechanical principles.

This DIY robotic hand has fingers that tap out a pattern based on the position of slats you set in a rotating drum. This project uses Circuit Playground Express and MakeCode to control a continuous rotation servo motor.

A playground of inputs and outputs, this board demonstrates all the functions possible with CRICKIT for Circuit Playground Express. It is easily customizable using CircuitPython.

This project demonstrates how to create a robotically-controlled marionette made out of household recyclable materials, controlled by CRICKIT for CPX, and shows how to use CircuitPython to control inputs and outputs.

This robotic musician uses eight tiny solenoids to tap out melodies on a toy xylophone. The Adafruit Grand Central M4 controls the solenoids using Circuit Python, a quickly growing and easy to use programming language.

Every Wednesday at 7:30 pm, join Ladyada as folks around the world show their work on the Adafruit Show and Tell broadcast.

Use glue sticks, Circuit Playground Express, and a handful of everyday materials to create your own illuminated art. This project uses MakeCode to conduct light shows with the NeoPixel strip, and is easy to adapt and experiment with.

Build your own music box that detects when it has been opened, revealing a character that dances to music. Made using Crickit for Circuit Playground Express, controlling a speaker and motor to bring movement and music to this DIY project.

This handheld device helps people keep concise and on-topic during meetings. A Circuit Playground Express alerts the person holding it when their time is beginning to run down, and resets itself automatically when it is passed to a new person.

Famous skylines lit by a neopixel strip. Uses Circuit Playground Express and MakeCode to create a beautiful illuminated scene that responds to environmental conditions around it.

This project uses conductive paint to highlight areas on a map and trigger Circuit Playground Express to play informational audio clips when they are touched.

Turn a mask into one that displays large glowing eyes that look around and respond to light. This project uses two Adafruit HalloWings for the eye display and code that you just drop on and it works!

Create a holiday soundboard that can play any of 32 festive clips at the press of a button. Uses the NeoTrellis M4 board and is a good introduction to programming with CircuitPython.
