These boot camps give teachers time to dive into Tynker content, practice coding, collaborate with other educators, and develop classroom strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Best of all, not only are these bootcamps free, we&#8217;re even including (limited) yearlong Tynker Premium licenses for completing the bootcamp of your choice so you can use what you learn with your students in the new school year.<\/em><em> One license per school.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each camp will be one entire week of virtual content with sessions and time to practice skills. The first two camps focus on College Board-aligned Advanced Placement courses, and we also have a week of camp in partnership with our friends at Infosys Foundation USA for K-7 teachers using Tynker Blocks. Join us for the camp that will benefit your students the most!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>All sessions start at 11 a.m. Eastern Time and will be finished by 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Space is limited and seats will be allocated on a first come-first served basis.
