Definitely math.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there anybody who inspires you?<\/strong> I\u2019m inspired by my mom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you get introduced to Tynker?<\/strong> I started out with my mom, looking out for some coding websites here and there. I\u2019d seen other apps, but then my mom found Tynker. I\u2019ve been coding with Tynker for quite a while.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long have you been using Tynker?<\/strong> A few months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you decide to join the Code-A-Thon?<\/strong> I just found out about the Code-A-Thon, and I decided to join.

His curiosity about coding was first piqued when he tried other coding apps, but his mom soon found Tynker &#8211; and they both fell in love with it! She told us, \u201cI\u2019m seeing my son\u2019s progress, and it\u2019s keeping up his interest in so many areas. After two months with Tynker, I bought a lifetime membership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She thinks Tynker helps motivate kids to code, and told us Nitish\u2019s little brother is already demonstrating interest in coding! She said, \u201che\u2019s begging his older brother to teach him how to program the games. It\u2019s seriously making us feel so happy. As parents we usually encourage kids to do something, but this Tynker app is kids encouraging kids to do something! That is the special thing with your app.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was wonderful to speak to you, Sravanthi and Nitish! Congrats again on being one of our Code-A-Thon, Nitish. We\u2019re so glad that Tynker has been such a positive addition to your lives, and we hope your enthusiasm for coding continues to grow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nitish, Future Scientist (or Engineer), Loves Coding!
