Tynker has a handful of exceptional features for students and teachers that sometimes go missed! Each week we receive notes from teachers saying &#8220;This is awesome!&#8221; or &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe Tynker can do this!&#8221; Let&#8217;s outline a few of Tynker&#8217;s best hidden&nbsp;features (that&nbsp;aren&#8217;t&nbsp;really&nbsp;hidden).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"new-backpack\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feature_5_The_New_Backpack\"><\/span><a href=\"#new-backpack\">Feature #5: The New Backpack<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As in the previous Tynker Workshop, we&#8217;ve brought back The Backpack for the new version. All great coders save bits and snips of code for future use. You can save code stacks, as well as whole actors (with code). When you need a bit of animation, for example, you don&#8217;t have to reinvent the wheel; just import, modify, and update your code from a previous build. Professional coders do this all the time!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"627\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200106172559\/Backpack2.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20007\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"weekly-cert\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feature_4_Weekly_Certificates_and_Awards\"><\/span><a href=\"#weekly-cert\">Feature #4: Weekly Certificates and Awards<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As your students accomplish more and more each week, we update you on their progress.
