Tynker for Homeschool: The Ultimate Coding Program for Kids!

Homeschooling parents and educators, rejoice! Tynker for Homeschool has made coding education more accessible than ever. As the leading K-12 coding platform, Tynker now offers its Elementary, Middle, and High School site licenses with no minimum purchase requirements. This exciting change means homeschool families and teachers can now access Tynker for Homeschool for smaller groups, bringing the magic of coding into your learning environment at an affordable price. Start empowering your children with a request for Tynker for Homeschool today!

Whether you’re a seasoned homeschooler or a classroom teacher looking to supplement your classroom curriculum, Tynker’s new flexible plans are designed to meet your unique needs. Say goodbye to restrictive licensing and hello to a world of coding possibilities!

How does it work? Some important caveats: 

  1. First, make your request at the links below or here: choose K5, MS, or HS. 
  2. Purchase directly from Tynker: Requesters for Tynker Classroom must use a Credit Card for purchase. Once we receive your request, you’ll get a purchase link. Most schools use credit cards for small purchases, so once your request is made, you can forward your purchase link to a business manager, or pay it with your credit card. 
  3. No Gmails/Outlooks or personal home email addresses. Tynker for Schools can’t sort/categorize home emails in our school system, so this is important. For homeschool parents who use Gmail, consider Zoho, which is FREE or extremely inexpensive for custom domains. It’s also possible that Homeschool Co-ops can provide this.

Why Choose Tynker for Your Classroom or Homeschool? 

Tynker isn’t just another coding platform; it’s a comprehensive learning ecosystem built to empower educators and ignite students’ passion for technology. Here are a few reasons why Tynker stands out:

This self-guided approach is perfect for homeschooling environments and classrooms with diverse learning styles.
