This week in computer/ tech class we had to create an About Me project and practice are Tynker skills. In this blog post I’m going to talk about those two things, while practicing Programming 201 I completed activity’s that were about making your character do things like getting my character around objects and reaching certain points. The main reason I like Tynker is because there are many possibilities and you can be very creative with it. It’s almost like your own world you can control. I also think that sometimes it can be difficult to understand how all the different coding blocks work together but for the most part it is pretty well organized. One of the things I learned to do in Tynker is to program a character to do something after it gets touched, I though that was pretty cool.

Moving on to the About me project, I put a Christmas tree and candy cane to represent how much I like Christmas. I made them play festive music and sound effects when they got touched! I also included a picture of a Basketball spinning another basketball on it’s finger, this represented how much I love basketball. I made it so when the basketball is touched it makes a splash sound like a ball going through a net. I also put a picture of chicken wings that played happy music when touched to show how much I love chicken wings. I often used the block “When actor touched” to code. I incorporated that block from Programming 201 where we learned how to code with that block. I thought my project was super cool and I hope you do too!
