Summer Code-A-Thon<\/a> is upon us! Whether your kids have a dog or cat, fish or snake (or just the bugs and birds in the backyard), summer is an ideal time to spend time playing with and taking care of pets. This week we’re challenging kids to create a project about a pet with Tynker, and share it with the community! <\/p>\nBeginning with a blank template and their imagination, kids can create any pet they dream up! They can submit any project to the Summer Code-A-Thon, but extra points will be given for sticking to the theme.<\/p>\n
The Summer Code-A-Thon is free and open to all. Just create a free parent-verified account to be eligible to win prizes. Please share this program with anyone who might be looking for ways to keep their kids engaged over the summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
