I just had my first group of 6th graders coding - Instant engagement! Love it (plus now I am a teacher hero). Paula Pletcher Teacher from St. Simon School, IN
It has been so great for me to see my students really shine in this, especially some of those who struggle in other areas.. These students are so proud of their success and it is so encouraging to see how much it boosts their confidence. Anna Cross Teacher from Rockwood School District, MO
Tynker's beginning levels are basic enough to welcome all students to coding concepts, and its higher levels are sophisticated and complex enough to challenge and attract the most advanced programmers among my students. Dr Jeanie Smith Teacher from Jordon Middle School, CA
