Cool – this class used Tynker for a book report!
Third graders are using @GoTynker to create book reviews that use graphic organizers to show story elements. Their review will also provide a book recommendation for their peers. #TalawandaEmpowers #IntegratingSTEM pic.twitter.com/h5LxjOzgS3

On The Blog:
The blog was full of exciting announcements this week! We posted about fully expanding Tynker curriculum to iPad, explained modding and our new course, and announced our Barbie Hour of Code activity.
This week’s Featured Maker was Nathan. He’s a black belt, acts in commercials, and still manages to find time to excel with Tynker!
Keep contributing the Tynker community! Parents and teachers can connect with us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the Tynker Community Forum. Kids can start learning to code and creating for free with the Tynker app for iPads or by playing our Hour of Code activities!
