Coding for Kids

Community Highlights: March 20 – 26
Happy Monday! Here’s what’s new in the Tynker community this past week:
Featured Makers
Three more amazing kid makers joined our Featured Maker program this week: Matt, a 12-year-old from Virginia, Reagan, an 11-year-old from Texas, and Eliot, a 12-year-old from Florida. Here are a couple of highlights:
Why do you like to code? The process of coding is very flexible. You can do whatever you want with it – basically, whatever comes out of your imagination, you can create it using the Tynker programming. – Eliot
What’s your favorite feature in Tynker? The coding games you can play if you don’t really know how to code that well. They teach you how to do it. My favorite is Dragon Journey. – Reagan
You can read more about our Featured Makers on the Tynker blog!
Projects of the Week
Build it: Redesign: You can use blocks to build your own two-dimensional world!
3-Object Sorter: In this very impressive project, there’s a sorter that categorizes falling balls based on their color. This project was made by Featured Maker Eliot.
Litle tynker 2!: This Tynkerer made a project to explain the basics of Tynker physics to other aspiring coders!

Was stopped by a 6th grader today, who beamed, "I made a webpage for my dad last night on @gotynker just for fun!" #teacherwin
