Students and their teacher are sprawled out on the floor, coding!
Who says MS teachers can't get on the floor and code with students? @tmussoline @gotynker #usmfac #ourcommonbond pic.twitter.com/7btjsI4LSC

On the Blog:
This week we had two Featured Makers: Gibson, who was really successful during our Summer Code-A-Thon, and Rebecca, who coded an anti-bullying project – then impressed her whole school at an assembly! They both impressed us with their advanced, colorful projects.
Ready for National STE(A)M Day? This article is full of great ideas for celebrating (and if you look closely, there’s a hidden acrostic poem!)
We also shared this article all about our new teacher dashboard and its features.
Tynker in the News:
We’re excited to announce we’ve been named the winner of Best Coding App or Tool in the Edvocate Awards!
Keep contributing 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 by playing our Hour of Code activities – and don’t forget to celebrate National STE(A)M day on Wednesday!
