Why Tynker?

Why Tynker?
It's the EASIEST Way to Teach Coding and Computer Science in Schools

Tynker has:

Amazing coding tools including:
- Both Tynker Block and Text Coding (Python, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Java, PF.JS)
- A curriculum that grows with the student from PreK through 12th grade
- Core curriculum lessons for students to create with code to show what they know in Social Studies, Science, Math and ELA
Tools to make it easy on teachers including:
- Automatically graded quizzes assessing learning and lots of data
- A base Classroom Management system to assign lessons similar to thing like Google Classroom, Canvas, and Schoology (It's Familiar)
- Loads of professional development to learn new skills

Tynker is based on a Grade Based Learning Progression

Pre-Readers start with an icon-based (no text to read) system of block coding to use computational thinking and practice skills.
Elementary Students move to a Tynker Block coding to build and create without having to worry about the syntax that comes with scripted languages.
Middle School Students can begin the transition to text by converting Tynker Blocks to a coding language.

Tynker is BOTH a Full Curriculum and a High Ceiling Creative Tool. It includes:

5 Icon Based Courses for Pre-Readers that are fully touch based
11 Block Coding Courses that any student who is not ready for a scripted language can use.
500 Hour of Code Challenges including great lessons on NASA and the UN SDG"s
5 Beginning Text Coding Courses (Python, JavaScript, HTML/CSS) to facilitate the transition to a scripted language
4 Advanced HS Text Coding Courses (Python, Java, P5.JS) including APCSP, APCSA, and Data Analysis
300 + DIY Projects that you can use to create and customize any project or content
12 STEM courses to facilitate students showing what they know in social studies, science, ELA, and Math
5 Elective Courses including hardware based (drones, micro:bit, and Lego WeDO) and Augmented Reality
