Community Highlights: April 3 – 9

Every week, we bring you the best of the Tynker community – from projects that we love playing to makers who inspire us.

Featured Makers

We featured two more kids this week: Danae, a sixth grader from Canada, and Max, a fifth grader from Ohio.

Danae says that coding with Tynker has made her want to be a programmer when she grows up – and that the Tynker Community in particular inspires her to build creative projects.

This teacher says her students enjoy coding with Tynker and WeDo 2.0 so much that even during an earthquake drill, she can’t get them to stop coding!

Please join the Tynker community! Parents and teachers can connect with us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the Tynker Community Forum. Kids can start learning to code and creating for free with the Tynker app for iPads and Android tablets or by playing our Hour of Code activities.
