Our Featured Maker this week was Chloe! She said coding is a stress reliever for her, and enjoys looking at the Tynker community projects. We also posted about our cool seasonal project “Autumn Leaves,” found here.
Tynker in the News:
According to this article, the Argentinean government purchased 1900 mini-drones to use with Tynker in schools! We love to hear about people programming around the world with Tynker!
