Kids learn on their own as they earn badges by completing game-like lessons.
Lessons are designed to guide kids on a path to earning cool new badges. In each lesson, kids engage with interactive learning modules, mini-games, coding projects, and puzzles.
Cool characters introduce code blocks and how to use them.
Short clips demonstrate common actions such as deleting Actors or changing the background.
Preview the games you build in each lesson and play bonus games along the way.
Kids learn on their own with a guided, hands-on approach that individualizes the learning experience.
Tutorials give step-by-step instructions that teach how to apply coding concepts so kids can complete projects without frustration.
After completing a tutorial, kids can experiment with what they've built to help them apply the concepts they've learned.
Kids learn and apply coding skills with fun adventures.
To solve these puzzles, kids are presented with a buggy code snippet to fix.
Kids receive a prompt and create games and projects based on the instructions provided.
Kids apply what they've learned and build their own unique games.
Short quizzes at the end of each lesson ensure an understanding of concepts and automatically assess student mastery. Results appear on the dashboard.
Kids can quickly build whatever they imagine with our suite of intuitive creativity tools.
Drag-and-drop interface makes building games really easy. With over 200 visual blocks that snap into programs, kids can build even the most complex games with ease.
Visual programming allows kids to rapidly transform their ideas into actual programs by connecting blocks.
Kids personalize their projects with professional-quality, fluidly-animated characters that bring their projects to life. A variety of stunningly realistic preset animations can be applied to an array of all-new characters to inspire imaginative scenes and stories. Make them walk, talk, run, attack, defend, jump, and dance. Mix and match heads, torsos, arms, legs, weapons, outfits, and attachments — the possibilities are endless.
Use the Level Editor to rapidly design multi-level games using themed tile-sets such as clouds, space, jungle, or castle. Drag pre-defined Actors and props to quickly design and play your levels. The “Platformer” category of code blocks can be used to customize the players and levels.
Create your own versions of games like Angry Birds™ or Tiny Wings™ with ease. Use simple visual blocks to simulate gravity, force, impulse, angular velocity, collisions, and more complex motion and interactions using physics.
Choose from thousands of backgrounds, props, characters, and animations that you need for your programs. You can also find sound effects and background music ready to use for your games.
Create smooth and scalable graphics in the Art Studio. There are multiple tools for drawing lines, rectangles, and ellipses as well as an extensive library of shapes. Apply gradients, scale and rotate elements, and create fun effects with text fonts. Use advanced path tools to create precision drawings.
With Tynker, students learn fundamental programming concepts and the principles of computational thinking. Once proficient, they can seamlessly transition to JavaScript coding within the Tynker learning system.
Not only can students switch between seeing their program in block view and code view in the Tynker Workshop, but they can also transition to coding in JavaScript with our new “Sky Pirates” course.
