He told us he usually uses a pencil as he&#8217;s planning his projects, but he likes to fill in his work with a colored pencil or marker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isaac might not have a lot of coding experience yet, but he&#8217;s learning quickly and excelling \u2013 in fact, he even had another project featured after his interview! We had fun getting to know Isaac and learning all about why he loves to code!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What do you want to be when you grow up? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think maybe a marine biologist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What\u2019s your favorite subject in school? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Science!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why do you like to code? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s fun and I get to play games that I make!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"\/ide\/embedded?p=59cea5791c36d1ce568b4567&#038;controls=yes&#038;autostart=no\" height=\"350\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Custom Burger<\/em><\/p>\n<p><b>How do you get inspiration for your projects? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of my ideas I just think of and other ones are from video games I\u2019ve played.

I saw Tynker and thought I\u2019d give it a try! At this time, it\u2019s starting to click with him.\u201d For Charles, learning to code has lots of benefits. \u201cThe analytical processing that actions have \u2013 what happens if &#8216;this&#8217; occurs. You get that immediate feedback. Obviously, he\u2019s really big into science, so anything that can be added to that is good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charles sounded proud as he told us, \u201c[Coding] is something that he likes to do, so he likes sitting there and doing it \u2013 he\u2019s not playing video games! He could spend just hours coding \u2013 he sets his heart to it when he gets into it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for speaking with us, Isaac and Charles. We&#8217;re so happy to hear that coding has become such a great hobby for Isaac, and are very proud of Isaac and his success. We can&#8217;t wait to see what he comes up with next.
