Read on to see what we discovered about Hannah and her experience with Tynker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What\u2019s your favorite subject in school? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have to say right now it\u2019s science. It\u2019s not very math-like, there\u2019s not a lot of equations in it, and I\u2019m pretty good at it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How did you feel when you found out your project had been featured? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I went screaming! But not out loud. I was at school. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How did you get introduced to Tynker? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around the beginning of the year we were told to download it and explore with it because we had some free time, so after a few months I made the game and it just kind of went from there. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How long have you been coding? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is my first year!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How did you learn how to use Tynker when you were first starting out? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I went through all the tutorials that they give you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Did you use any Tynker courses or tutorials to learn to code? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, both. I liked the animation one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How do you get inspiration for your projects? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I play a lot of the other games! One time I saw this one game, it was the burger and fries battle game, and it sparked a fish thing for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How do you use your creativity when you code? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I mainly put it into the drawings because I feel like that just makes it come to life. I also put it into the dialogue in the story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" 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=5a317b81a1e77ace268b4587&#038;controls=yes&#038;autostart=no\" height=\"350\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>&#8220;Mia&#8217;s Room Decoration&#8221;&nbsp; Check out more of Hannah&#8217;s projects <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/dashboard\/student\/#\/community\/profiles\/59f23710949b56f3068b4576\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>here<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Why do you like to code? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can just let my creativity flow! I can play what I\u2019ve made and I\u2019m proud of it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is your favorite project you\u2019ve made so far? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve really only made two, and I\u2019d have to say Fish Tank Frenzy. I like the story and the characters behind it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Is there anything you\u2019re planning to make next or currently working on? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m currently working on one!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What do you do with a project when you\u2019re done with it? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I usually run through them, make sure there are no glitches, and then if I like it a lot I\u2019ll publish it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What\u2019s your favorite feature in Tynker? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I like that if you don\u2019t know how a block works, you can always ask that little Tynker guy over there. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Do you ever Tynker with your friends? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not entirely, no, but I\u2019ll help my friends if they don\u2019t know how to do something. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Do you look at the Tynker community projects? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most definitely, yeah! I play them quite a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How do you think learning coding now may help you in the future? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I feel like if my doctor job doesn\u2019t come through I\u2019ll always have coding! I know coding is becoming a big part of this world because there\u2019s so much advancement in technology \u2013 quite a bit of it, actually. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Do you think other kids should try coding? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, actually. It\u2019s fun and it lets me be imaginative! Once you make the creations you\u2019re proud of yourself, and if you ever publish them and get a like on it, it\u2019ll instantly blow your mind. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What advice would you give to kids starting out with Tynker? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do the online courses because it\u2019ll help you a lot, and try to play other people\u2019s games and if you want to learn how to do something they did. You can always try to redesign their game \u2013 because you can look at the code and you can always do that \u2013 but never claim it as your own!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked what she thinks of Hannah learning to code, her mom Michele told us, \u201cI\u2019m actually really impressed by the whole program and the skills that she has picked up! I think that the website is built really well, and I know that she\u2019s really proud of the programs that she\u2019s been able to write, so I think it\u2019s been a great asset for her to have this available.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Michele\u2019s eyes, the transformation from player to maker has been great for Hannah. \u201cShe is on it quite a bit; I find that she does more productive things now that she is involved in Tynker than just sitting and playing video games in her bedroom. She\u2019ll be in there coding or looking at what other kids are doing \u2013 investigating more than just sitting and playing games.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What skills does learning to code help build? For Michele, problem-solving is the most notable skill built. She believes that \u201cit\u2019s important for all, women especially, to be involved in science and technology and engineering \u2013 and I think coding is one of those fields.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking to the future, Michele sees lots of opportunities to use programming! \u201cBecause of the way we are evolving as a society, it\u2019s in everything we do, from the devices we talk on every day to the computers that we work on. Having the ability to understand how to program is an essential function in almost every job if you work on a computer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks for chatting with us, Hannah and Michele! It was great to learn more about why you love to code, Hannah, and so fun to meet the person behind the projects.
