Tynker
Coding for kids and teens made easy
Tynker is an online coding education platform designed for children ages 5 to 18, offering over 5,000 gamified lessons that progress from block-based visual coding to real-world languages like Python and JavaScript. It serves both home learners and schools worldwide, covering topics such as Minecraft modding, AI, game design, and data science. The platform includes interactive assessments, built-in tutorials, and mobile apps, with subscription plans supporting up to three children.
Kids progress through story-based, gamified lessons starting with drag-and-drop block coding and gradually transitioning to text-based languages like Python and JavaScript, guided by built-in tutorials and assessments.
