Coding is a 21st century skill that every student should learn. Here are some questions to think about when it comes to coding, Tynker, and core&nbsp;subjects: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><b>Can coding improve student test scores and math proficiency? <\/b><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Can coding help students synthesize complex text like science and social studies material? <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Can coding help students improve their language arts synthesis and understanding of books and complex ideas?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When kids are coding, you\u2019ll see students improve in their&nbsp;other courses.
