Due to popular demand, Parallax is partnering with the National Integrated Cyber Education Research Center to present four more distance learning professional development courses.

Paul Voss, a Professor from Smith College and an inventive engineer, has two interesting applications using the Propeller 1. The first is a timely test fixture he made for the MITMedia Labs MASK Project: an N95 Alternative Face Mask.

While schools across the United States are closed for self-quarantine and travel-based conventions have been cancelled, we’re inviting educators to participate in another valuable hands-on distance learning opportunity! Apply by April 16th 2020.

We've released the first 28 pages of foundational tutorials for middle school and high school students studying cybersecurity. The new curriculum, part of our overall cyber:bot series, provides a student-coded experience in Python to demonstrate hardware-level basic security.

At present, the Parallax physical operations are open with a small sales, shipping and manufacturing team in the office but we are closed to visitors and tours. If Placer County adopts a "shelter in place" program we will close the building and suspend sales order processing and manufacturing, but continue to communicate by email, phone, and forums — entirely remotely as described below. The Parallax team is a family and we're protective of individual safety and well-being.
