Kids can learn in any order they choose. However, we recommend the following paths for kids of different ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ages 5-7 Pre-Readers &amp; Early Readers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children in this age bracket can learn coding basics in sequencing, pattern recognition, numerical loops, and critical thinking by connecting picture blocks to move their characters in the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/tynker-junior\/id1393933000\"><strong>Tynker Junior app<\/strong><\/a> \u2014available on iPad\/iPhone to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/parents\/curriculum\/creating-with-code\/skills\/\">practice coding skills<\/a> at home or on-the-go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by completing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/k8-school\/coding-curriculum\/pre-reader\">5 icon-coding adventures<\/a> \u2014 <em>Ocean\u2019s Odyssey<\/em>, <em>Robots!<\/em>, <em>Wild Rumble<\/em>, <em>Puffball Panic<\/em>, and <em>Super Squad<\/em> \u2014 which include over 200+ coding challenges!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can also build their first projects with code using friendly voice-guided tutorials, helpful hints, and a subtle increase in difficulty to motivate completion with 18+ creative coding activities in 5 Maker Studios \u2014 Art, Music, Animation, Greeting, and Game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they\u2019re ready they can move on to block-coding in the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/tynker-coding-games-for-kids\/id805869467\"><strong>Tynker app<\/strong><\/a> (or on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/\"><strong>Tynker.com<\/strong><\/a> website) and explore courses with voice instructions such as <em>Space Cadet<\/em>, <em>Candy Quest<\/em>, <em>Lazer Racer<\/em>, <em>Ada&#8217;s Adventure<\/em>, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ages 8-13 Elementary &amp; Middle School Students<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children in elementary and middle school can start with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/\"><strong>Tynker.com<\/strong><\/a>, where they\u2019ll learn to problem-solve while building projects with Actors, Costumes, and Sounds. Here are some recommendations based on their age:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ages 8-9: <\/strong>Start with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/courses\/adas-adventure-intro-to-programming\"><strong><em>Ada\u2019s Adventure<\/em><\/strong><\/a> and <em>Glitch Manor<\/em>, then try <em>Star Runner<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ages 10-11:<\/strong> Start with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/courses\/turings-tower?utm_content=buffer3e647&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer\"><strong><em>Turing\u2019s Tower<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>,<\/em> then complete <em>Cannon Crasher<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ages 12-13: <\/strong>Start with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/courses\/goblin-quest\"><strong><em>Goblin Quest<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, then go to <em>Gravity Sling<\/em> and <em>Ninja Runner<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Children who want to learn text-based coding with real-world coding languages should complete JavaScript 1, Web Dev, and Python 1 (which can be done in any order). However, we recommend that children try block-coding courses to pick up fundamental coding concepts before attempting text-coding courses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ages 14+ High School Students<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a high school student doesn\u2019t have coding experience, start with a block-coding course such as <em>Goblin Quest<\/em> or <em>Gravity Sling<\/em> so they understand the basics of coding before transitioning to text coding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the coding language they want to learn, they can try the following courses to learn loops and patterns, conditional logic, variables, expressions, game design, and more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Python: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/courses\/python-1-jungle-run-adventure\"><strong>Python 1<\/strong><\/a> &amp; Python 2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>JavaScript 1: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/courses\/javascript-1-sky-pirate-adventure\"><strong>JavaScript 1<\/strong><\/a> &amp; Processing (coming in fall 2020)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Web Development: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/k8-school\/coding-curriculum\/web-dev-101?\"><strong>Web Dev<\/strong><\/a> with HTML &amp; CSS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Internet of Things: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/k8-school\/coding-curriculum\/microbit-python\"><strong>MicroPython<\/strong><\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/k8-school\/coding-curriculum\/microbit-block\"><strong>micro:bit<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>programming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Program_the_dashboard_based_on_your_childs_interests\"><\/span>Program the dashboard based on your child\u2019s interests<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your child can select a programming level and course track from the Settings (gear icon) area of our dashboard to get recommendations based on their interests.

However, we don\u2019t currently support multiple parents having access to all the child accounts. If your child already has an account on Tynker, you can link that account to your parent account. If your child has a gmail account, we\u2019ll have to link it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The parent dashboard has answer keys, including puzzle solutions and sample projects for all the course activities. Just select Courses in the left navigation bar and select the Answer Keys tab, then click on the course and chapter to see the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_use_Tynkers_subscription_for_homeschooling_or_in_a_classroom_setting\"><\/span>Can I use Tynker&#8217;s subscription for homeschooling or in a classroom setting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can use Tynker&#8217;s subscription for both homeschooling and in a classroom setting.
