What do children learn?
Computer programming is an important 21st century skill that children can begin to learn at any age. By solving challenges, children apply reasoning and thinking skills such as pattern recognition, problem solving, debugging, sequencing, spatial visualization and develop an algorithmic way of thinking. Tynker’s visual language makes it easy to learn and apply concepts like conditional logic, repetition, variables, and functions—the same programming concepts found in any standard programming language.
What is Tynker?
Tynker inspires kids to create and work collaboratively through programming in an intuitive and imaginative way. More than 60,000 schools and 50 million children have started coding with Tynker.
Tynker is inspired by visual programming languages like MIT’s Scratch, CMU’s Alice, and other programming languages like Logo, SmallTalk, and Squeak.
