Meet Juan Felipe

What did you like about Coding Cup? "In the coding cup, you actually have to program the code, and be strategic about it. There’s some people that have the strategy to beat my code, but there are some people who didn’t. So it’s kind of a luck factor."

What was your favorite code block that you used? "Tackle. Yeah, because so many times, the players just take your balls. And without the tackle, the coding cup will be nothing, absolutely nothing. So that’s why in the coding cup, I also maxed up my tackling skill."

2

Was this the first time that you used Tynker? "I use Tynker at my school. And they introduced me to the coding cup as our first activity. Naturally, I liked the coding cup so much that I got obsessed, and well, here I am now."

Why do you like to code? "Personally, because I love computers. They are very useful. They can multitask. They can connect us to the world. That’s things that we aren’t able to do. And so, I want to be a part of that."

What is the best thing about Tynker? The interactivity and the design of the games, and little things that are puzzles, that just want to make you stay and program more. And it’s so cool. I love that.
