This allows in them to do much more advanced things with coding, and in the process&nbsp;learn the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/parents\/curriculum\/programming-basics\/\">fundamentals of computer science<\/a>. When kids can program the drone themselves, they&#8217;re not just reading instructions from a manual&#8211;they&#8217;re inventing their own play, and learning valuable debugging skills in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Drones are great&nbsp;for allowing&nbsp;children to play, explore, experiment, and learn. Drones inspire them to learn the fundamentals of code because they allow kids to visualize their code and use programming to solve real-world challenges.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Download_the_Tynker_App\"><\/span>Download&nbsp;the Tynker App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With Tynker, kids can use an iPad or Android tablet to control their drone.
