Tynker is available for iPads!  Even better, kids can now create their own apps using Tynker on a tablet (iPad), without internet access.  You can find Tynker\u2019s new iPad app in the Apple<\/a> app store.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only do the new apps encourage kids with tablets to create with code on the go, anywhere they are,\u201d states Srinivas Mandyam, Tynker\u2019s CTO, \u201cBut now kids also have the flexibility to create their own apps on both web and mobile.\u201d The ability to create on any device that\u2019s available not only gets more kids coding, but also gives parents the flexibility to encourage kids to \u201cTynker\u201d more often \u2013 especially when traveling.  And now teachers have the flexibility to use Tynker to create with code on any hardware available to them.<\/p>\n

With the Learn-to-Code and Maker movements rapidly rising in public consciousness, Tynker\u2019s fun and kid-friendly approach is fueling Tynker\u2019s momentum as a key player in both. Over 8 million kids have started making their own apps and games with Tynker, and learning key programming concepts<\/a> along the way.  Our newly released apps were featured today in the Washington Post<\/a> as a great way to encourage summer learning fun.<\/p>\n

We invite you to take a sneak peek at the new features<\/span><\/a> of the Tynker app that take kids beyond the app’s award-winning coding puzzles<\/a>, so they can use the programming skills they’ve learned to make fun apps to play with friends, directly on their tablets.  Kids can create custom games and apps using a library of characters, animations and backgrounds, or start with their choice of “game kit” template.<\/p>\n
