His biggest hobby is playing hockey. We loved his projects, and wanted to speak with him to learn more about what he likes to do and why he loves to code!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you want to be when you grow up?<\/strong> I want to work for NASA &#8211; I want to be a computer engineer. It seems interesting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you get introduced to Tynker?<\/strong> My mom, she\u2019s a teacher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite thing you\u2019ve made?<\/strong> I like the game I made on my mom\u2019s iPad on Tynker &#8211; Hedgehog Run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you look at the Tynker community projects?<\/strong> Yes, I do look at them. I like them because they are very interactive and they are fun to watch or play. I look at them sometimes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do you like to code?<\/strong> I think it\u2019s fun to create something that\u2019s your own. It feels amazing. I\u2019d rather do my iPad than watch the Simpsons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you ever make other things?<\/strong> Every month I make a catapult or something. I\u2019m also on the robotics team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you think other kids should try coding?<\/strong> Yes, because coding is the future. The rocket doesn\u2019t fly itself, it\u2019s coded!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice would you give for kids starting out with Tynker?<\/strong> If you don\u2019t know something, watch one of the featured videos.<\/p>\n<p><em>Make sure you check out Jeremy&#8217;s fun featured project, Marshmellows!<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"\/ide\/embedded?p=56db71501ae7a9972a8b456b&#038;controls=yes&#038;autostart=no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy\u2019s mom Lisa is a second grade teacher who has brought Tynker to both her classroom and her home; she loves that Jeremy has really taken to coding! She thinks it \u201cgives him a chance to be creative and hopefully get a job involving coding. There are so many jobs, so he has a head start by starting so young.\u201d She asked her sons to try different coding games in preparation for bringing coding to her classroom, and told us that \u201cJeremy got really into Tynker after &#8211; he is bright and just took off with it on his own and started making games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We loved Lisa\u2019s final comment on coding &#8211; \u201cIt\u2019s higher level thinking. Just like music or any type of art form, you are using thinking skills that you don\u2019t use for pen and paper. It allows them to be creative in different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for speaking with us, Jeremy and Lisa! We\u2019re so glad you\u2019ve brought Tynker to your students and children, Lisa &#8211; and we\u2019re thrilled Jeremy loves coding with Tynker. We\u2019re looking forward to seeing what you come up with next, Jeremy! Keep coding!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeremy Thinks Coding is the Future!
