Community Highlights: May 8 – 14

Happy Monday! Every week, we bring you the best of the Tynker community – from projects that we love playing to makers who inspire us.

Featured Makers

This week, we featured two more creative makers on the Tynker blog: sisters Anna (8 years old) and Ariel (12 years old) from Singapore.

Anna told us that she started coding because her father told her it would make her smarter when she grew up, but she initially thought it would be too hard. Now, she’s working on creating her own math games in Tynker!
