Meet our newest Featured Maker, 9-year-old Adele from England! Adele likes to sing, dance, and code. Incredible! Adele recently spoke with us about her experience coding with Tynker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you have an idea of what you want to be when you grow up?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s a bit like I want to be like three or four things, because I want to be like a coder, but I also want to be a singer, and I want to be an author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What’s your favorite subject in school and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of my favorites is art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How did you get introduced to Tynker, and how long have you been coding?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I think I’ve been coding for one or two years. And I got into Tynker because first I did Scratch.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n How did you learn how to use Tynker when you were first starting out? What are your favorite courses or tutorials?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I used, those games to help you. Those games which, tell you what to code and then you have to code it. I did the Barbie one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why do you like to code?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Because coding is fun because you can make your own different games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What do you do with the project when you’re done with it? Do you debug it, show it to someone, publish it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes I publish it. And sometimes I enter it where you submit it to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you think other kids should try coding? Why is that?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yeah. Because they can create different things, and animations and stuff like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What advice would you give to kids starting out with Tynker?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Just to be creative and, you know, follow your imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What’s a fun fact about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That I know lots of songs and I like to sing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n So how do you feel about Adele learning to code? How does it feel to see the coding projects she is making?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I feel very good. I think it’s, first of all, coding these days is very important, no matter whatever you do in life, but also I think it helps with other subjects as well. It helps with creativity. And it’s great how quick they kind of figure out themselves how to use things, you know? Like I never get involved into their projects and first they kind of asked me how to do things, I said, I don’t know. You should see the tutorials. And they just figured out themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe spoke with Adele’s mom about Adele learning to code<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
