I live in an area with a lot of air traffic. Often my children ask me, or I find myself wondering, where the airplanes overhead are going, and from where they came. This project from Italian maker Danilo Cannas seems like a perfect fit for me to try out:
A 3D-printed desk gadget that shows the aircraft flying closest to your home in real time — with a military-style radar, live weather, an NTP clock, and flight intel (airline, route, ETA).
Featuring both nonfiction and fiction, these titles invite kids to learn about LGBTQ+ history, as well as LGTBQ+ experiences that all younger readers can relate to in their daily lives.

NYPL staff have once again put together a fantastic reading list, this time to honor Juneteenth:
The books below, both fiction and nonfiction and for a span of age groups, delve into the Juneteenth holiday directly or take place during the joyous, yet tumultuous time period as slavery officially ended and freed Black people faced new forms of economic, legal, and societal barriers rooted in racism.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
