Presidents Day was created to honor George Washington, the first president of the U.S., whose birthday was February 22, 1732. However, it\u00a0is also a time to celebrate all American presidents and learn about\u00a0the\u00a0history of this country! Additionally, many use this holiday, like Veterans Day and Memorial Day, to honor American veterans &#8211; in fact, it is Washington&#8217;s face that appears on the Purple Heart medal, an award for soldiers injured in battle.<\/p>\n<p>For this Presidents Day, you can incorporate coding into your American history class with this fun project! Students will follow step-by-step instructions as they construct a trivia game based on a president of their choosing. They&#8217;ll combine their artistic and coding skills with outside research on a president. And when they&#8217;re done, each student will have created\u00a0a unique game. Students\u00a0can try each others&#8217; games to learn something new about history!<\/p>\n\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"\/ide\/embedded?p=58a1ed74af9231ec2c8b456d&#038;controls=yes&#038;autostart=no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"sf-button large accent standard \" href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/ide\/?p=58a2065eaf92318d398b4577\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"text\">Start Tutorial<\/span><\/a>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Teachers<\/strong>, to assign a\u00a0project to your class:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Log in to your Tynker account.<\/li>\n<li>Click on the \u201cStart Tutorial\u201d button above (<strong>in this blog post<\/strong>) to open the project.<\/li>\n<li>Save the project to your account.<\/li>\n<li>Go to your \u201cMy Projects\u201d section.<\/li>\n<li>Hover over the project you want to assign and click the \u201cAssign+\u201d button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>After your class has finished, don\u2019t forget to create a class showcase of all your students\u2019\u00a0projects to\u00a0share\u00a0with parents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Parents<\/strong>, to give a\u00a0project to your child:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Have your child log in to his\/her account.<\/li>\n<li>Click on the \u201cStart Tutorial\u201d button above (<strong>in this blog post<\/strong>) to open the project.<\/li>\n<li>Save the project.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If your students or children use the <strong>Tynker app for iPad<\/strong>, they can find this project in the &#8220;Seasonal Projects&#8221; folder in the Tynker Workshop.<\/p>\n<p>We love to see what kids are making!
