Overview

Coding with blocks can be a fun way to get into programming, or simply a way to visually organize complex code structures. Designing with codeblocks can lead to anything from games to 3D models to interactive electronics. However you use it, we'd like to see!

In addition to our usual prizes for the best projects, a Judges Prize will be awarded for best use of codeblocks in:

  • Tinkercad Circuits Editor
  • Tinkercad Codeblocks Editor

To enter, make something using any platform that incorporates block coding and share what you made as an Instructable. If you're having trouble getting started, you can check out some previous winners for inspiration!

The Block Code Contest is closed.
