Community Highlights: March 13 – 19
Every week, we bring you the best of the Tynker community – from projects that we love playing to makers who inspire us.
Featured Makers
We featured three more makers on the Tynker blog this week: Noah, Elena, and Matthew. There has also been an exciting update from one of our Featured Makers.
Danielle, an 11-year-old from Alabama, competed in a regional technology competition with a game she made in Tynker – and took third place in her division! Her mom Erika posted some of the highlights on Twitter.
