Hydro Dipping Sheets – 10 Pack of A4 Size Sheets
Hydro dipping is a fun, hands-on way of adding printed designs to any surface! This process can be done on any material that can hold the base coat and can be submerged into water. Works really well with any 3D printed project, but molded and cast parts also benefit. You’ve probably seen cool videos of motorcycle helmets and ceramic statues being dipped – when done right you can cover an entire shape with colorful ink. Read more

Drama Piñata
We like this guide for the mom who likes to party and doesn’t like making repeat purchases. Piñatas are tragic, beautiful creatures, used once in a carnival of destruction, then tossed out and forgotten. This guide demonstrates how to modify a piñata so that it can be filled and refilled with candy over and over again. This piñata also has an attitude, and can be programmed to respond, when hit, with sound effects or pre-recorded taunts. Read more
LED Harness Bra
This guide feels like a great choice for a boss mom OR cosplaying mom! Construct a custom-fit harness bra with a unique array of NeoPixels and a Circuit Playground Express.
Caged clothing accessories can be worn over anything from a tank top to long sleeves. Harnesses come in all shapes and sizes and although they may accentuate certain body parts, they can be worn by anyone. Read more
Adventure Time Coffee Cup Lamp with MakeCode
For the coffee/tea loving Adventure Time fan justing starting out with electronics or looking for a project to work on with a beginner! In this project we’ll show you how to build a coffee cup lamp using an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express and Microsoft Makecode.
We’ll design our lamp out of a paper cup and use capacitive touch to change the colors of the LEDs! You can build your own capacitive touch pads using conductive tape. So get ready to go on an adventure and learn how to craft your own paper cup lamp! Read more
Data Logging IoT Weight Scale
Oooh, for the mom who likes to be precise! How many grams of coffee did I add to my pour-over? Is the bag of cat food empty? Did I remember to water the plant? What’s the weight of these screws in my workshop?
To answer these questions (and more), you’re going to build an internet-enabled scale to track weight data over a period of time. To do this, you’ll be performing a bit of hardware hacking – tearing down a DYMO Postage scale and soldering wires to connect it to a PyPortal. Then, you’ll add some CircuitPython code to the PyPortal which allows you to read the the scale remotely using Adafruit IO – our easy-to-use internet of things service. Read more
ISS Pin
This project’s for the mom always gazing toward the stars. A Particle Photon microcontroller and an Adafruit Neopixel ring combine to make a pin that’s fit for NASA fans. It displays an orbiting white blip when idle and then turns blue, white, red and multicolor when the ISS flies by. The code takes advantage of the Photon’s Wi-Fi capability and uses IFTTT (If This Then That), a free site that makes connecting IoT devices as easy as a few clicks. This project was inspired by my first NASA Space Apps Challenge project created with friend Brooks Zurn Rampersad–the ISS Orbit Skirt. That’s enough history…on to the parts! Read more
IoT Door Detector
For the mom who likes to know the door was actually shut (and maybe also the mom who likes to make sure folks are respecting curfew/coming home straight from school ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) Way cheaper than a guard dog who can use an iPhone, this project will show you how you can use an Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266 WiFi microcontroller board with a door sensor to email/tweet/text you when your door has opened!Read more
Trellis M4 Synth Design Tool
For the musical mom! You can build your own synthesizer using the NeoTrellis M4 with the PJRC Audio System Design Tool and Audio library for Arduino! In this guide you’ll learn how to patch together waveform oscillators, filters, envelopes, effects, and mixers. Then, you’ll learn how to control notes and parameters with the Trellis M4’s buttons and accelerometer. Soon you’ll be playing ripping synth leads, fat bass lines, and lush pads with a synthesizer of your own design! Read more and don’t miss these 3D Printed Bluetooth Controlled NeoPixel Headphones!
