If you’re a teacher, you should definitely check out these FREE webinars about how to use Tynker!

Now, with Tynker Junior Studios, pre-readers can apply their coding skills in 9 sandbox environments! 

As kids code with connected toys like drones, robots, Kano kits, and more, they’ll see their code come to life!

Keep contributing to the Tynker community! Parents and teachers can connect with us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the Tynker Community Forum. Kids can also start learning to code and creating for free with the Tynker app for iPads!
