Community Highlights: July 10 – 17
We’re excited to share the best of the Tynker community – from projects we’ve enjoyed playing, to tweets that we loved!
Projects of the Week:
get a cocateil? : In this game, the player gets to buy a cockatiel at the pet store and teach it tricks. Be careful to not feed it poison!
Weird Art 2: Take a look at this art project. The squiggles are automatically generated, but you can change their colors! It’s pretty mesmerizing.
fruit ninga: This Fruit Ninja clone is so close to the actual game – it’s really impressive!
3D Game: 3D game is both visually interesting, and fun to play! Rotate a three-dimensional avatar and shoot the enemy blobs.

Looks like these summer campers found flow! It’s been fun to see all the photos of kids Tynkering at STEM summer camps.
