Always on the lookout for a new story, we\u2019re glad Nathan found the time to sit down with us and tell us a story of his own: all about his coding experience with Tynker!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How did you get introduced to Tynker and how long have you been coding? <\/strong>I got introduced in the summer of 2018 during a summer coding camp. They introduced Tynker to me! How did you learn how to use Tynker when you were first starting out? <\/strong>I went to the Tynker community and I looked at projects and wondered how they did it, so I remixed it, saw how they made it, and then I coded it! That\u2019s how I learned! How have your coding skills improved since you started using Tynker? <\/strong>They improved a lot, like broadcasting and receiving! How did you feel when you found out your project had been featured? <\/strong>I felt really good, because I just published this project and three days later it\u2019s being featured and it has a badge on it! What is your favorite project you\u2019ve made so far and what do you like about it? <\/strong>Totoro Acorn Collector! I like it because in the movie the Totoros collect acorns. Where did you get the idea for your favorite project and how long did it take you to make?<\/strong> I got the idea from the movie and it took me under a month.
