Community Highlights: January 2 – 8
We hope you all had a wonderful New Year! Here are a few highlights from the Tynker community this past week.
Projects of the Week
Dabbing Simulator NOOB TO PRO: This fun project is one of many we’ve seen about dabbing, a dance move craze that kids love. We love seeing kids bringing things they find fun or funny into Tynker.
mine craft: In this very basic version of Minecraft, you can walk left and right and dig to find new resources.
Virtual Lemonade stand: Serve lemonade to customers in this virtual lemonade stand game! Can you keep up with the demand?

Tynker teacher Farrah Falco published a great article on how she uses Tynker to encourage a growth mindset in her students.
