Nominate Adafruit for YouTube’s On The Rise Channels!
Our YouTube channel‘s been blowing up lately – since October we’ve doubled our all-time view count (2.1 million and counting), and we’ve been gaining subscribers by leaps and bounds (2200 in the last 30 days vs only 900 in September). First up– THANK YOU! It’s not only our tutorials, product demos, and episodes of Ask an Engineer, but also the Google+ Show & Tell featuring your fabulous projects that helped us get here. And if you haven’t yet, please subscribe to our channel (we’re almost to 15K subscribers!) to be notified when new videos are launched.
We’d like to ask for your help– please nominate us for YouTube’s “On The Rise” program. If selected, YouTube will help promote the love of DIY electronics by featuring our channel! We try very hard to implement YouTube best practices like audience engagement, calls to action, and a fun channel page design. If you’re a fan, please go to the nomination page and tell YouTube why Adafruit is On The Rise!
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 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
