As a result, we&#8217;re all facing more time stuck at home, which means parents will have to find new ways to enable their children to develop, learn, and create.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s crucial right now to keep our children\u2019s brains sharp and their creativity thriving by finding resources that will help them maintain their progress at school and expand their imagination. For most kids, remote learning was new to them this past spring. Surveys showed some did well. But many didn\u2019t.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, <em>learning to code<\/em> with Tynker is a proven solution. We\u2019ve been educating kids worldwide for over 7 years. Coding opens up kids\u2019 creativity while building essential academic and learning skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tynker is the #1 Coding Platform for Kids and Teens in the World.<\/strong><br><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 6 ways Tynker can enhance the education of our kids and teens by making their screen time at home less passive and more productive.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Learning to code BENEFITS CHILDREN ACADEMICALLY.<\/strong> Coding helps them not only in math and science but also reading, while developing essential critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as the mental fortitude to see a project through to completion.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Tynker\u2019s ENORMOUS CODING PLATFORM keeps getting bigger and bigger. <\/strong>We have 3,700+ coding activities with daily missions, self-help tools, DIY projects, debugging puzzles, challenges, and assessment quizzes, from block to text-based coding, ages 5-18, kindergarten through high school.

Children can use Tynker ON THEIR OWN. <\/strong>All we have to do as parents is sign them up. We have over 40 self-guided and self-paced courses with easy step-by-step instructions to get them started making their own Apps, Games, and more!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Coding with Tynker is FUN.<\/strong> Our interest-based courses and activities are <em>GAMIFIED<\/em>. With Tynker, kids can play with Minecraft but they\u2019ll also be learning to code, developing a skill that will last a lifetime.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. At Tynker, coding is an exercise in LIMITLESS CREATIVITY. <\/strong>If you can dream it, you can do it\u2014with code! We have courses and activities in Art, Music, Storytelling, Drones, Web Dev, and much more.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6.
