MIT engineer Limor “Ladyada” Fried founded Adafruit, an electronic company that is known for DIY electronics and kits since 2005. It has grown over 100+ employees in the famous Big Apple City, New York for the last ten years. It has around a 50,000 sq ft. factory and continues to expand its offerings to include tools, equipment, and electronics that Fried herself selects. Adafruit was made to be an online learning platform for electronics and to design the best products for industry aspirants of all ages. Aside from these, it is also certified for the following recognitions: Minority and Woman-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE), Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE), and Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB). 

Adafruit offers a wide array of products and services made possible by its very own production line. With Adafruit’s Creative Engineers, Fried has developed community-driven products such as the Adafruit Feather. It is a product line released in 2015, made up of 100 products and accessories. 2 years after, CircuitPhython was launched. A coding language designed to simplify experimentation and education on low-cost microcontrollers. Recently, it launched the Circuit Playground Express. This latest educational board of Adaaruit supports its other creations like the MakeCode, CircuitPhython, and Arduino without any soldering needed!

Most of the products are produced directly from its NYC factory. For example, its Pick and Place Machine that already manufactured over 3 million boards in just a span of 3 years. Adafruit also has online programs entitled “Ask an Engineer” and “Show and Tell,” which air every Wednesday Evening. 

The company never stops designing, inventing, and connecting with its customers. It is active on different social media platforms to reach its market, give awareness, and share knowledge that will benefit them. In addition, anyone who is interested in Adafruit’s DIY electronics and kits may easily purchase from any of its distributors worldwide.
