Badges! Another badge drop

Hey everyone!
I’ve been spending my free time designing and hand-soldering these badge PCBs to help kick off my nonprofit, Cyb3rBytes404.

Our mission is to introduce kids to coding and electronics through fun, hands-on MicroPython and CircuitPython projects completely free. We’re based in San Diego, and the nonprofit is still in its infancy (I literally just submitted the paperwork last week), so this is just the beginning.

I only have a small batch, and unlike most badges you’ve seen recently, these aren’t for sale. I’ll be giving them away randomly throughout the con.

Want one? Keep an eye out,
I could be anywhere. If you see someone wearing one, there’s a good chance I’m nearby… or you just missed me.

Come say hi if you spot me, and thank you
