Description

Experience a sample Tynker Lesson. To complete each lesson, campers typically go through a concept review, solve a puzzle, run through a tutorial, build their own project, and take a quiz. They create interactive stories, animations, and mini-games during each lesson and apply the programming concepts that they have learned. Each camp or after-school course has several lessons packaged together to support a wide variety of camps and after-school schedule formats.

After completing a lesson plan, students will be able to build a wide variety of simple programs with events, loops, and conditional logic. They will leave the camp with their own account and a portfolio of apps and games that they build during camp to share with friends and family.
