Happy Monday! The Tynker community was busy working on Week 2 of the Summer Code-A-Thon last week – our young coders put their creativity and talent to work creating pet-themed games and more. Continue on to check out some of our users’ amazing work!

Projects of the Week

Tweets of the Week

Twitter was quiet again this week, but we did see this sweet tweet about Tynker + Barbie!

Did you catch Tynker CEO Krishna Vedati and Featured Maker Mckenna on Good Day LA last week?

On the Blog

This week’s Featured Makers were Talon and Logan! Talon has big plans for his future – he aspires to be a rock star and an app designer! Logan told us, “I really like that you can explore other people’s projects, because I’d be totally lost without being able to see what other people have been up to.”

We also had a guest post this week – check out this article about how schools in Phenix, Georgia, are achieving college and career readiness with Tynker! ” …we believe it’s our greatest responsibility…to prepare our students for jobs that may not have been created yet.”

Keep contributing to 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 or with our FREE Summer Code-A-Thon!
