With word-free code blocks, tap-tap-tap interactions, and friendly voice-overs, this course helps young kids learn key <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/school\/coding-curriculum\/\">programming concepts<\/a> and apply them to complete the challenges. Read on to learn more about this new set of adventures for pre-readers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Pre-Readers_Will_Learn\"><\/span>What Pre-Readers Will Learn<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190806121849\/SuperSquadPic-1024x630.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18434\" style=\"width:363px;height:222px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190806121849\/SuperSquadPic-1024x630.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190806121849\/SuperSquadPic-150x92.jpg 150w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190806121849\/SuperSquadPic-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190806121849\/SuperSquadPic-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190806121849\/SuperSquadPic.jpg 1212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Engaging in computer science and other scientific activities at a young age helps children problem-solve more effectively&#8211;a skill set that applies to subjects outside of computer science or STEM. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/services.google.com\/fh\/files\/misc\/trends-in-the-state-of-computer-science-report.pdf\">report<\/a> by Google and Gallup, \u201cOffering early exposure and opportunities to learn CS will allow more students to learn foundational skills and consider future learning and careers in the computing fields.\u201d  Tynker Junior helps children who can\u2019t read yet have access to this vital early exposure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 39 fun puzzles, this course introduces conditional logic, while building on several other coding concepts introduced in earlier courses. One of these is a block that represents a conditional statement that helps them code their program to react differently based on conditions in the scenario. For example, if there is a crate in their way, kids use their power to destroy it; if not, and a minion is in their way, they may choose to wait; if neither condition is true, they may want to step forward. The concept of conditionals can be difficult for young children to understand, but our visual block designs and scenario-driven learning&#8211;where kids apply conditionals to complete specific challenges&#8211;helps kids understand this crucial coding concept in an authentic way.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as with our other Tynker Junior courses, the coding concepts in Super Squad build on each other: kids progress from learning basic sequencing to more complex tasks like conditional loops, where a character should only continue performing an action until a condition is met. By the end of the course, they\u2019ll learn how to program multiple characters to solve a challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Else_is_Included_in_Tynker_Junior\"><\/span><strong>What Else is Included in Tynker Junior<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before completing this course, kids should have completed the other Tynker Junior courses, including Ocean Odyssey, Wild Rumble, Robots, and Puffball Panic. In these courses, kids learn fundamental coding skills like sequencing, pattern recognition, and numerical loops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/k2-school\/coding-curriculum\/ocean-odyssey\">Ocean Odyssey<\/a>: <\/strong>Pre-readers assemble each resident of Treasure Cove using jigsaw-like pieces, get used to tapping the screen and putting items in top-to-bottom order, create a virtual aquarium, and use sequencing to collect spilled treasure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/k2-school\/coding-curriculum\/robots\">Robots!<\/a>:<\/strong> Pre-readers get introduced to parameters and flexible sequencing as they use code blocks to make each robot match the blueprint.
