Here’s what’s new in the Tynker community this past week:
Featured Makers
We featured three more kid makers on the Tynker blog this week: Anthony from Chicago, Joshua from Vancouver, and Diego from San Jose. Here are a few quotes from them and their parents:
Tynker is not just coding – it’s creative thinking, it’s problem solving, and it’s thinking things through, so there’s a lot of great benefits. – Diego’s father Owen
Projects of the Week
Neon Dodging Game: You control the red circle. Your goal is to get the blue circle to eat dots. When you’re close to the blue circle, it will follow you – but make sure not to let the blue dot touch you!
pick your pet!: This fun project allows you to put together different elements to create your very own pet. The illustrations are delightfully cute.
Cactus Run 3D: Tap to jump and avoid cacti!
dress up: Drag different outfits and accessories to dress up the creature.
