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


Picture
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.
