Tynker Code Blocks

Tynker's visual code blocks are a great way for beginners to code, without needing to remember how to type syntax. By dragging and dropping code blocks together, young coders can produce vividly complex programs and games in our proprietary app, which includes support for graphics, sound, physics, and more.

What Kids Learn

  • Play through a block coding adventure
  • Solve 50+ coding activities and puzzles
  • Learn advanced block coding techniques
  • Use variables, events, physics, & more
  • Expand your creative coding abilities

How Kids Learn with Tynker

Kids learn on their own with a guided, hands-on approach that individualizes the learning experience. Tynker's online courses provide a complete learning system for your child to master the fundamentals of programming.
