+The Circuit Playground Express is Adafruit's flagship educational board designed for CircuitPython.
+It brings the "batteries included" approach of Python to hardware by including an assortment of
+functionality built-in. It is one of the best beginner boards available. If you are new to hardware,
+then this is a great board to start with.
+
+Here's some of the great goodies baked in to each Circuit Playground Express:
+
+* 10 x mini NeoPixels, each one can display any color
+* 1 x Motion sensor (LIS3DH triple-axis accelerometer with tap detection, free-fall detection)
+* 1 x Temperature sensor (thermistor)
+* 1 x Light sensor (phototransistor). Can also act as a color sensor and pulse sensor.
+* 1 x Sound sensor (MEMS microphone)
+* 1 x Mini speaker with class D amplifier (7.5mm magnetic speaker/buzzer)
+* 2 x Push buttons, labeled A and B
+* 1 x Slide switch
+* Infrared receiver and transmitter - can receive and transmit any remote control codes, as well as send messages between Circuit Playground Expresses. Can also act as a proximity sensor.
+* 8 x alligator-clip friendly input/output pins
+* Includes I2C, UART, 8 pins that can do analog inputs, multiple PWM output
+* 7 pads can act as capacitive touch inputs and the 1 remaining is a true analog output
+* Green "ON" LED so you know its powered
+* Red `board.D13` LED for basic blinking
+* Reset button
+* ATSAMD21 ARM Cortex M0 Processor, running at 3.3V and 48MHz
+* 2 MB of SPI Flash storage, used  to store code and libraries.
+* MicroUSB port for programming and debugging
+* USB port can act like serial port, keyboard, mouse, joystick or MIDI!
