On the Blog:
We produced a lot of blog content this week! Daniel posted about Tynker Blue Ribbon Educator Amy Storer, we learned about Featured Maker Toby (be sure to check out his game, “The Sneaky Spy”), and we celebrated the eclipse with some news about coding and space.
We also kicked off our Women in STEM series with a piece on Dorothy Vaughan and her achievements at NASA!
Tynker in the News:
Some cool Tynker news: a student in New Jersey wrote JerseySTEM curriculum on drones and held a class for the local Boys & Girls Club with Parrot drones and Tynker!
