On the Blog

Kimberly Bryant, the founder of Black Girls Code, inspires us with her perseverance and dedication to diversity in tech!

Featured Maker Ethan loves insects–he gets inspiration from beetles and Minecraft for projects!

Featured Maker Juan loves to code, and offers some great advice to kids who are just starting out with Tynker: “Read all the instructions. They can start from beginner projects and use Codey. Sometimes you can just put the code blocks in a row and see what each code block actually does.”

Keep contributing to the Tynker community! Parents and teachers can connect with us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the Tynker Community Forum. Kids can also start learning to code and creating for free with the Tynker app for iPads!
