Product Details
- Overview
-
Tynker is a coding curriculum and creative programming platform for schools. It is intended primarily for elementary through high-school learners developing coding and computational-thinking skills, with students, classroom teachers, computer-science staff, library/media staff, and families using it to support block and text coding, game design, robotics, web development, and computational thinking.
Students progress from block-based coding to languages such as JavaScript or Python through lessons, puzzles, projects, games, and teacher assignments. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.
