Twelve-year-old Alex adores science, so it\u2019s no surprise he\u2019s brought that love of experimentation to coding with Tynker! <\/span>In his free time, this coder from Florida plays sports like football or soccer, plays Xbox, and reads Harry Potter. \u201cI\u2019m on the last one,” he said, “but I haven\u2019t finished it yet!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Alex is only in 7th grade but already has two cool ideas for his future career \u2013 he wants to be a doctor or an actor, so, in his words, \u201cIf I have time and it doesn\u2019t interfere with my schedule for anything else, I usually join my school plays.\u201d <\/span>We were lucky enough to chat with Alex about his awesome projects and learn a lot about him, his goals for the future, and why he loves to code!<\/p>\n What do you want to be when you grow up?<\/b> I might want to be a doctor or maybe an actor. <\/span><\/p>\n What\u2019s your favorite subject in school? <\/b>It has to be science. I like how science is about experimenting and stuff. I like it better than other classes because it\u2019s more fun \u2013 you get to do experiments, and you can see an example instead of just being told stuff!<\/span><\/p>\n How did you feel when you found out your project had been featured? <\/b>I was really excited because none of my projects got featured before, but I put quite a bit of work into this one!<\/span><\/p>\n How did you get introduced to Tynker? <\/b>Well, our school usually gives middle schoolers iPads and they had Tynker on there. I decided to try coding, and it was really fun! I\u2019ve been coding for probably a year.<\/span><\/p>\n How do you get inspiration for your projects? <\/b>I usually think of games I like to play or topics I enjoy! I usually make a project about that, hoping that other people would enjoy that also. <\/span><\/p>\n How do creativity and coding fit together for you? <\/b>I really enjoy how I\u2019m able to just do anything! I can code what I want to code.<\/span><\/p>\n Why do you like to code? <\/b>Well, I like at the end when it all just comes together \u2013 how I can make something.<\/span><\/p>\n What is your favorite project you\u2019ve made so far? <\/b>Probably the one that got featured.<\/span><\/p>\n \n\n
