So it's great to see this collaboration giving kids a chance to embrace their love of Cartoon Network shows and turn that love into making things!

Microsoft's MakeCode is a simple visual tool for coding, while Adafruit is a brilliant place to buy great packages of tools for building great stuff with easy-to-use circuits and base-level computing hardware.
