Today, we are announcing the availability of <strong>Tynker Junior <\/strong>for schools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unlv.edu\/news\/article\/issues-why-stem-education-must-begin-early-childhood-education\">University of Nevada College of Education study<\/a> details why early exposure to STEM concepts is critical to establishing an optimal educational trajectory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tynker Junior takes the same familiar Tynker approach of carefully scaffolded coding education for students as well as deep support for teachers, and expands it to pre-readers to offer a complete solution for schools. <em>Schools with premium plans have immediate access to this course collection, read on for more details!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background\">As a thank-you to our educator community, the app is available to all teachers to use in their classrooms till August 1, 2019*.
