Tynker is excited to announce an all new block-coding class, exploring Artificial Intelligence in a fun, hands-on way. Not only that, you’ll find an all new set of AI code blocks available to everyone!

Face — Create costumes and Snapchat-style filters to capture a totally unique selfie! Paint on a 3D mesh that follows your face — or make actors follow you around and react to changes!

Hand — Create games and apps that follow your fingers! Paint with your fingertips or make an interactive “shadow puppet” that follows your hand.

Body — Create a dancing game or an exercise tracker. The on-screen characters will follow your every dance move. Program apps that can recognize gestures and more.
