This version of Circuit Playground is super powered, and will work with Microsoft MakeCode, CircuitPython, code.org CS Discoveries or Arduino IDE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can use Circuit Playground Express with code.org CS Discoveries, but we recommend this code.org Individual Pack which has the alligator clips and LEDs you'll need to follow all the lessons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKit includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircuit Playground Express\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB cable - A\/MicroB - 3ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 x Alkaline AAA batteries\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 x AAA Battery Holder with On\/Off Switch, JST, and Belt Clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini Storage Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Circuit Playground Express:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Playground Express\u003c\/strong\u003e is the next step towards a perfect introduction to electronics and programming. We've taken the original Circuit Playground Classic and made it even better! Not only did we pack even more sensors in, we also made it even easier to program. You can now start your journey with Microsoft MakeCode or code.org CS Discoveries. Then, you can use the same board to try \u003cstrong\u003eCircuitPython\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the Python interpreter running right on the Express. As you progress, you can advance to using \u003cstrong\u003eArduino IDE\u003c\/strong\u003e, which has full support of all the hardware down to the low level, so you can make powerful projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause you can program the same board in 3 different ways - the Express has great value and re-usability. From beginners to experts, Circuit Playground Express has something for everyone. If you are looking for our original, Arduino-only Circuit Playground, check out the Circuit Playground Classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere's some of the great goodies baked in to each Circuit Playground:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 x mini NeoPixels, each one can display any color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Motion sensor (LIS3DH triple-axis accelerometer with tap detection, free-fall detection)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Temperature sensor (thermistor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Light sensor (phototransistor).
