She lives in San Jose, California, and in her free time she likes to read, take swimming lessons, and attend dance classes. In her words, \u201cI mostly do Tynker on the weekends!\u201d We\u2019ve been really impressed by her projects lately, so we chatted with her to learn a bit about her, and why she likes to code!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you want to be when you grow up?<\/strong> I don\u2019t know exactly, but I think I want to be an engineer, writing code.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favorite subject in school?<\/strong> Math, because I like to solve problems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you get introduced to Tynker?<\/strong> In school we got introduced to Tynker on the iPad and I became very interested in the app. My dad downloaded the app on my iPad, so now I use it daily.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long have you been using Tynker?<\/strong> Not including school, about 4-5 months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you learn how to use Tynker?<\/strong> Well, I didn\u2019t know what to do so sometimes I asked my dad for help because he\u2019s really good at coding. Sometimes I\u2019d just go to other projects in the featured section, seeking help, to see if they had the answers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite thing you\u2019ve made?<\/strong> I would think \u201cMaking Jello,\u201d although it\u2019s a close call between it and \u201cDress Up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"\/ide\/embedded?p=59470e1e76f29374648b457a&#038;controls=yes&#038;autostart=no\" height=\"350\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n\n<p><strong>Do your friends Tynker?<\/strong> My friends also use Tynker, but we don\u2019t share a lot because it\u2019s in math class. I have a friend who I eat lunch with sometimes, and our parents talk a lot about Tynker.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you look at the Tynker community projects?<\/strong> Yeah! I like that they can help me with my ideas, or if I need help coding. They\u2019re also really creative and help me relax and think of ideas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favorite feature in Tynker?<\/strong> I like how instead of where you write the code, there\u2019s blocks so it\u2019s easier than writing it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you do with a project when you\u2019re done with it?<\/strong> Well, I always review it just to see if there are any bugs, and then I publish it. Sometimes I tell my dad, then after that I usually look at other projects to help my mind relax and think happy thoughts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you think learning coding now will help you in the future?<\/strong> When I grow up, there\u2019s a pretty high chance I\u2019m going to be an engineer, so understanding coding better now will help me get a good job and have a good life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do you like to code?<\/strong> Well, sometimes it helps me relax. Most of the topics in school make my brain fuzzy a lot, but there\u2019s something different about Tynker! Instead of making my brain fuzzy and tired, it makes my brain more clear. I don\u2019t know why, but it\u2019s really fun. I think it\u2019s because it\u2019s really fun so it helps me relax instead of making my brain really harsh and having a lot of pressure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you think other kids should try coding?<\/strong> Yes, definitely! When I started Tynker, it got me really interested and that\u2019s why I got my dad to download it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice would you give for kids starting out with Tynker?<\/strong> I would suggest that they look at the other projects so if they have problems they can look at other projects, like I did. They should also check before they publish it \u2013 one time I didn\u2019t check my project before I published it, and I had to change it, then wait a few days before it got out of review.<\/p>\n<p>Chloe\u2019s dad Walter is \u201cvery impressed that she can handle coding at this age, and Tynker is a very good platform. The way she understands coding \u2013 it\u2019s really cool.\u201d In Walter\u2019s opinion, coding with Tynker has strengthened Chloe\u2019s creativity and problem solving. \u201cIf she has something she wants to do, she just thinks of how to do it \u2013 which is great. You yourself say, \u2018Woah! Teach me that!\u2019\u201d He thinks Tynker is a great way to begin learning coding, and said that \u201cit\u2019s amazing how many kids like coding at this age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So true \u2013 it\u2019s always exciting to see how young programmers take to Tynker and learn so quickly! Thanks for speaking with us, Walter and Chloe. We can\u2019t wait to see what you imagine and code next!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Chloe, Coding is a Stress Reliever!
