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.

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. Tynker's visual programming language makes it easy to learn, and once kids gain proficiency, they can seamlessly transition to Javascript coding within the Tynker learning system. Enroll in one of our plans for unlimited play across all courses.

Game-Based Learning

Tynker's self-guided lessons break down coding concepts while solving puzzles and making cool apps.

Interactive Assessments

Quick practice quizzes and assessment tests evaluate a child's comprehension of subjects taught.
