Icon Coding

Tynker's icon coding is designed specifically for young children aged 5-7 who have limited motor skills and are still developing hand-eye coordination. Picture-based icon coding helps them learn to code using big blocks, pictures, voiceovers and tap-tap-tap interactions, without words or drag-and-drop or any other actions they may find too tedious or overwhelming.

What Kids Learn

  • Practice icon coding as a pre-reader
  • Complete 33 coding activities
  • Navigate a mysterious maze of obstacles
  • Use loops and logic to solve puzzles
  • Play in your own physics sandbox

How Kids Learn with Tynker

Kids learn on their own with a guided, hands-on approach that individualizes the learning experience.
