So far, we\u2019ve seen some amazing projects by our Tynker community. As kids participate in the Wild Minecraft Code-a-Thon, they\u2019re learning about habitats from around the world, from the savannas of Africa to the Pacific Ocean and everything in between! They\u2019ve celebrated biodiversity with Minecraft mobs and Tynker slideshows, quizzes, games, and more&#8211;all while learning how to code. Read on for how to win and get inspired by some of our favorite projects so far!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anyone_Can_Enter_to_Win\"><\/span>Anyone Can Enter to Win<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/#\/join\">Create a free Tynker account<\/a> for your child and verify the account with your parent email address.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Log in to the student account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/play\/minecraft\/\">current and past coding challenges<\/a>.

Remember: No prior coding experience is required! We\u2019re looking for creativity and originality. How can your child make their project stand out from the rest?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your child should publish every project they complete.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now that your child\u2019s project is published, they are eligible to win a $50 Minecraft gift card or other prizes!
