Our approach to teaching code is getting kids to develop their imaginations through creativity and focus. Art, as well as, Music, Storytelling, Engineering, and Game Design are all great ways to interweave technology with creativity, while focus can help train the brain to see a project through.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>\u201cCreativity takes courage.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>\u2014Henri Matisse&nbsp;<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why Tynker is excited to announce the recent launch of our new art and animation tools, featuring:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Different costume support so you can quickly draw animated frames<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frame animation preview with the play button<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easier to use interface<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/s-kfeZSAffnUv2wTCy2rsKjxEMDLifgspmac53fIiMiFF7YVk6yaG_0wkotaG5Q_NR_AzCpexySH_GuNh-2GFBK4Cr0dGQBsDdfKrSts36sKua9k80o2uAu9QFL0RpETGd93Dqox\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCreativity is contagious,\u201d said Albert Einstein, \u201cpass it on.\u201d Whether your kid is already on the programming path or a newcomer, Tynker teaches kids from kindergarten through high school how to code in a fun, creative way that helps them develop skills in Problem-Solving, Critical Thinking, Organization, Math, Storytelling, and Art.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These skills are an open-ended ticket to discover what&#8217;s possible and one day maybe even practical. And with the ability to code under their belt, kids will have the keys to a wide range of 21st century jobs.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out this project that a Tynker\u2019er shared with our online community using the new art tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"\/ide\/embedded?p=5bc9c98fc762c1568418f5de&#038;controls=yes&#038;autostart=no\" height=\"350\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n\n<p>For kids, this is the best time to begin coding.
