Rock Climber Max’s Competitive Spirit Motivates Him to Code<\/h1>\n

Max is an 11-year-old from Chicago, Illinois who has published some awesome projects to the Tynker community, like his Dance Machine simulator. We wanted to learn more about his hobbies and why he codes.<\/p>\n

\"MaxWhat are your hobbies?<\/strong> I rock climb and I do origami, like paper cranes and other things.<\/p>\n

What are your favorite subjects in school?<\/strong> I like math and I like science and reading. I’m reading this book called Out of the Dust.<\/p>\n

How did you get introduced to code?<\/strong> Using Tynker in school. We used it in class and then I started using it at home. I downloaded it for Hour of Code, and then I started using it and doing the Workshop so I could understand the code more.<\/p>\n

Do your friends use Tynker?<\/strong> Yes, they show me what they’ve made and I show them what I’ve made. Sometimes we try to make projects together. They send me stuff about what they’re making and they show me their projects. Sometimes I’m like, “Oh, you could add this onto it.”<\/p>\n

Do you ever look at the projects in the Tynker community?<\/strong> Yeah, I look at them a lot because they’re really cool. And some of them are awesome. I add on to some of them.<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite thing about Tynker?<\/strong> I like how you can animate and draw your own things.<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite project you’ve made?<\/strong> My Dance Machine project.<\/p>\n\n\n
