Tweets of the Week:
This dad posted a great tweet about his family’s Christmas morning with Tynker!
You know you have a geeky family when you spend Christmas morning downloading @Minecraft for your 9 year old, then 10 minutes later he’s using @gotynker to make his own mods.

Cool – this teacher shared a video of her Sphero, programmed with Tynker of course!
I got my Star Wars on earlier today. Not classroom related though. I do have a BB-8 @Sphero Droid that works with @gotynker for some fun coding/robotics activities! #hoonuit pic.twitter.com/gVv9fYklQv

Ethan was our featured maker this week! He loves playing piano, guitar, and coding, and is considering following in his father’s footsteps by working in tech. Ethan’s definitely getting a head start on that goal!
