With over 3,700 coding activities to choose from, Tynker is a great way to make kids&#8217; screen time creative and productive.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though everyone\u2019s situation is unique, we\u2019re all going through a little bit of the same thing and we hope you can get a little inspiration from what these kids and their parents shared with us.

He likes working on Tynker Jr. so much he\u2019ll request it! He thinks it\u2019s just a game.

Still, to a kid, it just seems like fun!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis was the first time we\u2019ve tried Tynker and it\u2019s been amazing for them,\u201d said Loraine of Tennessee, whose sons Colton (9) and Lucas (6) both love Tynker. \u201cThey are having fun learning how to code and look forward to playing it. It\u2019s like a game to them. It\u2019s fun for me too!\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Douglas, a father from Canada who recently signed up for Tynker\u2019s lifetime plan, admitted that spending any amount of money right now was a difficult decision. Ultimately, though, the experience with the Tynker has been \u201camazing\u201d for his son, Evan and kept him thoroughly engaged.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200402133013\/image2-11-1024x653.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20666\" width=\"512\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200402133013\/image2-11-1024x653.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200402133013\/image2-11-150x96.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200402133013\/image2-11-300x191.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200402133013\/image2-11-768x490.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200402133013\/image2-11.jpeg 1201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption><em>Colton and Lucas, ages 9 and 6<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_Kids_on_a_New_Path\"><\/span><strong>Setting Kids on a New Path<\/strong><br><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some parents have even commented that despite being stuck at home, Tynker is providing their children an opportunity to learn skills they\u2019re not even getting in school! \u201cMy son has had a very fun and active time learning how to code,\u201d Marlo says of her son, Noah. \u201cHe says his school doesn\u2019t teach him this kind of material, so he is very glad that he has Tynker. It\u2019s kept him occupied for hours and he doesn\u2019t get bored.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dwane from Canada loves how Tynker has given his son, Jack, an opportunity to flex his creative muscles while adding to his coding expertise, which he sees as a path to a&nbsp; possible career in engineering. \u201cJack loves to invent games,\u201d says Dwane. \u201cCoding gives him a way to bring some of his many ideas to life. He started out with Scratch programming and was part of a Lego League robotics tournament and is now looking to learn a \u2018real\u2019 programming language. Tynker\u2019s Python course was a great first step for Jack on this journey during this downtime from school.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re both new to Tynker and I understand the risk with allowing communication on the internet but being a part of a team and working together is a big part of engineering in the real world,\u201d Dwane continues. \u201cIt would be great to have a team or groups working on a challenge together.

But we also know that many parents have been thrust into the role of full-time teacher in addition to juggling the demands of their own careers, which they are suddenly forced to do from home as well\u2026 and it can be more and more difficult to keep energetic, restless kids occupied as the weeks go on. That\u2019s where Tynker comes in!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kari is the mother of 10-year-old Jad from Illinois, who has been doing an intermediate lesson on Tynker every day since schools closed. \u201cI especially like that he can complete the lessons independently,\u201d Kari says. \u201cHis latest project is a variation on Spin Draw. He added code to make the artwork more customizable. He and his younger siblings have been busily making original artwork with his new program Whirl Draw.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heather, who teaches robotics herself and whose daughter Riley is a big fan of Tynker, says the thing that makes her recommend Tynker to other parents most is the independent nature of the programs. \u201cStudents can do this <em>without<\/em> [parents] help,\u201d Heather says. \u201cBut then they can show them the awesomeness after they finish the work!\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tynker is particularly helpful for parents who need to keep working from home, even when their children finish their schoolwork. \u201cI&#8217;m working from home and homeschooling my son,\u201d Ayla says of her son Timur. \u201cHis school posts his daily lessons and I help him through them. He finishes by 12 but I have to keep working until 4!\u201d So, Ayla tells us she gets Timur started on Tynker and his learning continues.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is amazing how laser-focused my son is when it comes to learning with Tynker,\u201d says Michael, father of 10-year-old Joshua from Tulsa. \u201cWe have a set time each day for him to learn how to code, and he looks forward to it and makes preparations so that when it&#8217;s time to code his other responsibilities are taken care of. I have already recommended this to many of my friends with children so that they can learn a useful skill while our country has this down time.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rami from Sweden mentions that his son, Andulrahman, is having such a good time right now, he doesn\u2019t want it to end. \u201cHe is getting more free time to explore more tricks in programming. He is preparing for a big project for his game. He hopes that the closed-down situation goes even longer!\u201d Of course, Rami adds: \u201cI hope not.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re with you, Rami. No one wants this situation to go on any longer than it has to, and we\u2019re all looking forward to a day soon that kids can get back in the classroom, run around outside, or just get a chance to hang out with their friends. In the meantime, though, Tynker is happy to help any way we can. Remember, we\u2019re all in this together.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for more ways to keep kids occupied while they\u2019re cooped up at home?
