The need to express oneself is innate for every person in the world, and its roots run through art, technology, communication, and the acts of learning and building things from the ground up.

\"screenshotExpressive Pixels introduces an authoring app combined with open-source firmware, peripherals, documentation, and APIs that allow users and makers to create animations and then display them on a range of colorful LED display devices. With implications in areas spanning from accessibility to productivity, creativity, and education, the technology\u2019s potential for growth is limited only by the imaginations of its users and community\u2014and the app can now be downloaded for free<\/a> from the Microsoft store.<\/p>\n
