Neopixel flowers!!!
🌻🌺🌹
#neopixels can be used in many forms (strips, rings, and even freeform!). We're excited to explore more with this pinhole phenomenon and programmable LEDs! Let us know if you try it 👇👇👇

I've been experimenting with Neopixel LEDs and a pinhole projection idea for a workshop series at @TsukuruManabu & @FabCafe_Kyoto, as well as #TinkeringGlow @TinkeringStudio @exploratorium this month! This is just the beginning of the idea, but I'm excited to see where it goes!

CS learning over the course of the #K12 journey should provide these varied experiences. The more contexts in which learners encounter computing/CS concepts, the deeper their understanding of computing & its application,and the greater the opportunities to nurture their interests
