For Dea, Coding\u00a0Is About Expressing Her Imagination<\/h2>\n

Dea is a 7-year-old from Newton, Massachusetts and one of our Featured Makers.\u00a0We noticed that she was making some amazing coding projects in Tynker with beautiful\u00a0hand-drawn animations, so we asked her some questions about her hobbies, how she uses Tynker, and why she loves coding.<\/p>\n

\"\"What are your hobbies?<\/strong> When I’m not doing Tynker, I like to make poems and I like to play with my toys.<\/p>\n

What do you want to be when you grow up?<\/strong> I have three options: I would want to be a doctor, an artist, or a vet.<\/p>\n

How did you get introduced to coding?<\/strong>\u00a0I first started when we were actually doing Tynker in my school and it was so fun, so then my dad downloaded it on my mom\u2019s iPad and I work on many new projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you ever look at other projects in the Tynker community?<\/strong> Yes, and sometimes I get ideas for my own projects from them.<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite project you’ve made?<\/strong> It’s called Panda Care.<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite thing you can do with Tynker?<\/strong> My favorite feature is art and drawing.<\/p>\n

Why do you like coding?<\/strong> Because I get to use my imagination.<\/p>\n

You can play Dea’s projects, where she’ll teach you step-by-step how to draw Thea and Geronimo Stilton, two characters from a book she’s been reading!<\/em><\/p>\n
