Coding for Kids
Summer is a great time for kids to try new things! They can learn something new, or enjoy a game-like approach to boosting skills that will serve them well during the next school year. With Tynker, kids can create and share fun projects with their friends this summer, while developing critical computational thinking skills.
To get started, kids can take their inspiration from our Kids’ Creations gallery. They can build mini-games, create stories, make a book report, tell jokes, and create birthday cards, invitations, or animations to celebrate the 4th of July.
Take a look at this lively music video created by a 7th grader.
Kids can also use Tynker to teach others something new (geography quiz, trivia game, math art) or create a fun new way to practice something. Check out this math game, created by a 6th grader.
When kids complete our online courses, they’ll have the skills to build games they can enjoy playing with their friends, like this scavenger hunt game (we built this using Tynker). Just click Play to start, and follow the directions (to reset the game, stop then click Play).
