Meet Frances, our newest Featured Maker from Canada! She\u2019s a pretty active, creative 5th-grader and when she\u2019s not practicing music (she\u2019s been playing the piano and the ukulele for 5 years, we\u2019re jealous) or playing sports (baseball and soccer are her favorites), she\u2019s also a big fan of coding with Tynker.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frances sat with us to talk about her experience with Tynker and how she utilizes the community board to draw inspiration for her projects and improve her own coding skills!

How did you get introduced to Tynker and how long have you been coding? <\/strong>So, my friends told me about it. When I found Tynker and I was like \u201cThis looks cool!\u201d so I tried it out. It’s really fun! I\u2019ve been coding for a month or two. How did you learn how to use Tynker when you were first starting out? What are your favorite Tynker courses or tutorials? <\/strong>I looked at other people’s projects first and I saw the code there, so I learned from their coding and then I coded more stuff. How have your coding skills improved since you started using Tynker? <\/strong>They’ve improved quite a bit. Before I didn’t really use many coding blocks, but now I use complicated coding and it’s just really fun! How did you feel when you found out your project had been featured? <\/strong>My mind was blown. That was really cool! What is your favorite project you\u2019ve made so far and what do you like about it? <\/strong>It’s got to be my farming simulator one. What I like about it is, that’s where I found out how to make shops and things like that. I learned a lot of coding. It was really fun to find out how to do that. Where did you get the idea for your favorite project and how long did it take you to make?<\/strong> It took me at least three days to make and someone else made a game similar to that, but I realized that there was no shop in the game. I wanted to make a shop because you can use materials, and so that’s what I did!
